The Shinkansen is the preferred method for this route as it avoids the lengthy check-in processes of flying and is significantly faster than long-distance buses. A bus trip takes nearly an entire day or an overnight journey, while the train delivers you city-center to city-center in just over 3 hours. Flying between Shizuoka and Hiroshima is not a standard commercial route, making rail the primary high-speed option.

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