The Shinkansen is the primary choice for this route due to the very short distance. Regional trains take over an hour, while the bullet train completes the trip in under 30 minutes. Buses are available but follow highway routes that take significantly longer. There are no commercial flights between these two cities as the distance is too short for aviation to be practical compared to rail.

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