Rail travel on the Shinkansen provides the fastest connection to Jomokogen, as the station is specifically designed for high-speed rail access. Buses are available from Tokyo but involve significantly longer travel times due to mountain traffic. There are no commercial flights between Tokyo and Jomokogen because of the short distance and mountainous terrain. For travelers heading to Gunma, the Joetsu Shinkansen is the primary choice.

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