Rail travel on the Shinkansen connects city-center stations directly and offers predictable station-to-station timings compared with buses and flights. Buses are cheaper but require longer journey times and possible transfers; flights have shorter flight time but need airport transfers and check-in. For trips between Nagano and Tokyo, the Shinkansen provides faster door-to-door travel frequency and less transfer overhead than air travel.
