The local train links central Onomichi and central Fukuyama directly, without airport transfers. Departures run throughout the day; use the timetable for the interval at your travel time. There is no scheduled flight between these cities, and no direct bus fare or duration is quoted here. Electric rail is a lower-emission alternative to a private car for this short trip; zero-valued comparison entries mean no applicable service data, not free travel.
