Passengers traveling from Kurihara to Tokyo can take advantage of the Tohoku Shinkansen, which is the primary high-speed train service on this route. The Yamabiko Shinkansen, in particular, reaches speeds of up to 240 km/h (149 mph) and completes the journey in approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes, making it a fast option for travelers. The train makes several stops at major stations, including Sendai and Ueno.
Alternatively, there is the Nasuno Shinkansen, which operates on this route but takes a bit longer, around 3 hours, as it makes more frequent stops at various intermediate stations.
Both services offer comfortable seating with Ordinary and Green class options, catering to different budgets. Onboard features include Wi-Fi, power outlets, and food services, ensuring a pleasant travel experience. The Yamabiko is typically preferred for its speed, while the Nasuno allows for more regional exploration.
