Highway buses are available at lower price points but require 4 to 5 hours of travel time depending on traffic. There are no direct commercial flights between Tokyo and Koriyama due to the short distance, making the train the fastest transport method. The Shinkansen avoids the airport security and transfer requirements of short-haul aviation.
