Rail travel via Shinkansen provides a direct connection from Hiroshima city center to Shin-Yokohama, avoiding the long check-in times associated with flights from Hiroshima Airport. While buses represent a lower-cost alternative, the journey takes over 11 hours. Flights can be faster in the air but require additional travel to airports located outside the city centers. The Shinkansen remains the most balanced option for time and accessibility.

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