Travelers journeying from Hamamatsu to Fuji can choose from several train services, primarily the Tokaido Shinkansen and local JR trains. The Tokaido Shinkansen, specifically the Kodama service, covers the distance with a speed of up to 240 km/h (149 mph), completing the trip in approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, making limited stops, including at major stations like Shizuoka. In contrast, local JR trains, such as the JR Tokaido Line, take about 1 hour and 40 minutes and travel at a slower speed of around 100 km/h (62 mph), stopping at more regional stations, providing access to smaller towns. While the Tokaido Shinkansen offers faster travel, the local trains provide an opportunity to explore more destinations along the route.
