Higashine to Saitama Train

Traveling from Higashine to Saitama involves a couple of options. The primary train service on this route is the JR East Limited Express, particularly the "Yamabiko" train, which connects various regions in Tohoku. This limited express typically operates at speeds ranging from 110 km/h to 130 km/h (68 mp/h to 81 mp/h) and covers the journey in approximately 3 hours with a few designated stops along the way.
