Hiroshima to Shizuoka Trains

Traveling from Hiroshima to Shizuoka is primarily served by the Shinkansen trains, ensuring a quick and efficient journey. The Nozomi Shinkansen is the fastest option on this route, reaching speeds of up to 300 km/h (186 mph), and completes the trip in approximately 4 hours, with few stops along the way. This service excels in speed and directness, making it an optimal choice for travelers looking to minimize travel time. Alternatively, the Hikari Shinkansen also operates on this route but takes about 4 hours and 30 minutes to reach Shizuoka, as it includes additional stops at stations like Okayama and Nagoya. While it's slightly slower, the Hikari provides passengers with access to more regional areas. Both trains offer comfortable seating options in Ordinary and Green classes (Economy and First), and passengers can expect onboard services like refreshments and Wi-Fi. The Nozomi is ideal for those prioritizing speed, whereas the Hikari caters to passengers who may wish to explore more of Japan's central regions.
