Rail travel via Shinkansen is the most practical choice for this route as Kakegawa does not have its own commercial airport. Flying to Shizuoka Airport requires an additional bus transfer, making the train faster for city-to-city travel. Highway buses are available at lower prices but take significantly longer, often exceeding 3.5 hours depending on traffic. The Shinkansen provides frequent departures and direct access to the city center.

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