Traveling from Osaka to Kakegawa, passengers can choose between the Shinkansen and the Limited Express train services, providing varying travel experiences on this route. The fastest option, the Nozomi Shinkansen, can operate at speeds of up to 300 km/h (186 mph) and covers the journey in approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, making limited stops at major stations. The Hikari Shinkansen, offering a slightly slower alternative, takes around 1 hour and 45 minutes, with a few more stops en route, allowing travelers to enjoy glimpses of the surrounding regions. Both train types provide comfortable seating and onboard services, catering to different travel preferences. The Limited Express service, such as the ShJR Tokai's 'Hikari Rail Star,' is an additional choice, typically taking around 2 hours for the journey, but provides more accessible stops for passengers looking to explore different areas along the route.
