Traveling from Sanyo-Onoda to Fukuoka is primarily serviced by the Shinkansen trains, namely the Mizuho and Sakura services. The Mizuho Shinkansen is the faster option, reaching speeds up to 300 km/h (186 mph), allowing travelers to cover the distance in approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, with fewer stops along the route. On the other hand, the Sakura Shinkansen, while still a high-speed service, makes more frequent stops at key locations such as Hakata and Himeji, resulting in a travel time of around 1 hour and 50 minutes.
Both services offer a range of seating options, including Ordinary and Green class (Economy and First), to cater to different comfort levels. Amenities onboard include spacious seating and food and beverage services, making for a pleasant journey. The Mizuho is ideal for those prioritizing speed, while the Sakura provides a more leisurely experience with additional stops that may appeal to regional travelers.
