Rail travel on the Shinkansen is the most practical choice for this route, delivering passengers directly from Shin-Osaka to central Odawara. Buses are significantly slower, often taking over 7 hours, though they offer lower price points. Since Odawara does not have its own commercial airport, flying would require traveling to Tokyo Haneda and then back-tracking by train, making the Shinkansen the fastest door-to-door option.

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