Tokyo to Odawara Train
The journey from Tokyo to Odawara is primarily served by the Odakyu Romancecar and the Shinkansen. The fastest option, the Odakyu Romancecar, operates at speeds up to 120 km/h (75 mph) and takes approximately 1 hour and 25 minutes, making it a direct and efficient choice for travelers. This train features comfortable reclining seats and panoramic windows, enhancing the travel experience along this scenic route.
Alternatively, the Tōkaidō Shinkansen can also be used, but it is not the most direct option. The journey takes about 50 minutes when traveling on Nozomi, although this requires transfer back to a local train service at Odawara Station since the Shinkansen does not stop directly at the Odawara station for all services. The Shinkansen travels at speeds of up to 300 km/h (186 mph) on its main routes, but that speed isn't utilized readily on direct services between these two cities. Overall, the Romancecar is typically preferred for its direct service and overall travel time.
