Murayama to Tokyo Train
The journey from Murayama to Tokyo is primarily served by the local and express trains operated by JR East, with the notable Shinkansen option requiring a transfer in either Yamagata or Sendai.

Travelers can expect a comfortable ride with both Ordinary and Green car seating offerings.
On the other hand, the Limited Express Inaho provides a more direct albeit slower connection from Murayama to Tokyo, taking around 3 hours and 30 minutes.
