Rail travel via Shinkansen is the most practical choice for this route as it connects city centers directly. Driving or taking a bus takes significantly longer due to highway distances. While flights exist between large regional hubs, the necessity of airport transfers makes the train faster for city-to-city travel between Hiroshima and Shizuoka.

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