The Shinkansen is the primary choice for this route as it connects mountainous Iiyama directly to central Tokyo in under two hours. Buses are available at lower rates but take significantly longer due to mountain roads and traffic. There are no direct commercial flights between these locations, making the train the most time-effective mode of transport.
