Onomichi to Tokyo Trains

Traveling from Onomichi to Tokyo can be accomplished using the Shinkansen services, predominantly the Nozomi and Hikari trains. The Nozomi Shinkansen is the fastest option available, operating at speeds of up to 300 km/h (186 mph) and covering the distance in approximately 4 hours and 30 minutes. This train makes fewer stops, providing a direct and swift journey from Onomichi to Tokyo, passing through major hubs like Hiroshima and Osaka. In contrast, the Hikari Shinkansen also serves this route but takes around 5 hours, as it stops at more stations, allowing passengers to access intermediate cities efficiently. Similar to the Nozomi, Hikari offers both Ordinary and Green class seating, ensuring a comfortable travel experience. While both trains provide onboard services such as food and refreshments, travelers aiming for the fastest travel time will prefer the Nozomi, whereas those interested in stopping along the way may opt for the Hikari.
