Traveling from Shinagawa to Anjo is primarily serviced by the Tōkaidō Shinkansen, where the Hikari and Kodama trains are the main options. The Hikari service is the faster of the two, reaching speeds of up to 285 km/h (177 mph) and covering the distance in approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes, making fewer stops along the way. On the other hand, the Kodama, although slower, takes about 2 hours and 30 minutes since it stops at every station along the route, making it suitable for travelers wishing to explore intermediate locations.
Both trains offer various seating options, including Ordinary and Green class, allowing passengers to choose between standard and more spacious seating. The Hikari train is recommended for those prioritizing speed, while the Kodama train is more accommodating for stops at smaller towns. Onboard, passengers can enjoy amenities such as refreshments and additional legroom in Green Class.
