Rail travel on the Shinkansen is significantly faster than any other method for this short distance. Buses take much longer due to highway traffic, and there are no direct flights between these cities because of their proximity. The train connects both city centers directly, eliminating the need for long transfers or additional transit time.

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