Rail travel on the Shinkansen provides a direct city-center connection from Odawara to Shin-Osaka, avoiding the need to travel to major airports in Tokyo or Nagoya. While highway buses offer a cheaper alternative, they take significantly longer. Flying is not practical for this specific route as there is no commercial airport in Odawara, making the train the most time-efficient choice for travelers.

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