The Shinkansen is the preferred method for Hiroshima to Shinagawa travel as it arrives directly in central Tokyo, avoiding the long commutes required from Narita or Haneda airports. While flying is faster in the air, total travel time is similar when security and transfers are included. Buses are the cheapest alternative but take over 10 hours, making the train the primary choice for time management.

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