Rail travel via Shinkansen is the most practical choice for this route. While flying from Hiroshima Airport to Haneda is possible, the airport is distant from Higashihiroshima, and city-center transfers in Yokohama add time. Buses are significantly cheaper but take over 10 hours. The Shinkansen provides a mid-range price with the fastest door-to-door transit time.

Plus, it’s a greener choice, reducing your carbon footprint
