Rail travel on the Shinkansen is the preferred choice for this route as it connects city centers directly. Buses are available but take significantly longer due to highway traffic. Flights are not a practical alternative for this specific distance given the time required for airport security and transfers. The Shinkansen offers the most frequent departures and shortest travel times.

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