Rail travel on the Hokuriku Shinkansen is the most practical choice for reaching Kagaonsen directly from central Tokyo. Buses are cheaper but take significantly longer, often requiring over 7 hours. Flying to Komatsu Airport is an alternative, but requires bus transfers to reach the hot spring areas, making the total travel time similar to or longer than the train.

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