Shizukuishi to Saitama Train
Traveling from Shizukuishi to Saitama involves a choice of two train services: the Limited Express and local trains. The Limited Express service, specifically the Super Kenji, operates on this route and covers the distance at speeds of up to 130 km/h (81 mph). This service offers a more rapid option, with a journey time of approximately 3 hours when taking into account fewer stops. In contrast, local trains may take longer due to more frequent halts at smaller stations, making the total travel time closer to 4 hours.
