Travelers looking to journey from Onomichi to Kurashiki can utilize the JR Sanyo Line, with its services including local and rapid trains. The journey typically takes about 1 hour and 45 minutes on the rapid service, which reaches speeds of up to 120 km/h (75 mph). The rapid train makes fewer stops than the local trains, allowing for a quicker transit between these two cities. Additionally, the local service is available, but it takes considerably longer, taking around 2 hours and 30 minutes due to additional stops along the route. Both services offer standard seating options, with basic amenities onboard, providing an economical way to travel through the scenic landscapes of the Setouchi region. The rapid train is more suited for those looking to minimize travel time without any significant sacrifices to comfort.
