Rail travel via Shinkansen is significantly faster than long-distance buses, which can take over 10 hours to reach Tokyo from eastern Hiroshima. While flying from Hiroshima Airport is an option, the time required for airport transfers and security checks often equates to the rail journey duration. The Shinkansen delivers passengers directly to central Tokyo Station, avoiding the need for lengthy suburban transits.

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