Rail travel on the Shinkansen between Hiroshima and Nagoya provides faster city-center connections than air travel when factoring in airport transfers at Chubu Centrair or Hiroshima Airport. While long-distance buses offer the lowest fares for this corridor, they typically require over 6 hours of travel time. The Shinkansen remains the most frequent option, with several departures every hour, bypassing the traffic delays often encountered by road transport.
