Rail travel on Tokaido Line provides frequent departures and city-center to city-center connections, reducing transfer times compared with flights. Buses run direct routes to Hakone but take longer due to road traffic; flights are not practical for this short corridor and require airport transfers. For door-to-door travel between Tokyo and Odawara, rail services are usually the fastest public transport option.

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