Traveling from Ueno to Fukushima, passengers have the option to use the Tohoku Line, served by both the Limited Express and the more frequent Local trains. The Limited Express, known as the Super Hitachi, reaches speeds of up to 130 km/h (81 mph) and completes the journey in approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes. This service features comfortable seating and amenities designed for a relaxed trip, stopping only at major stations along the route such as Utsunomiya and Koriyama.
In contrast, the Local trains, which run more frequently, typically take about 4 hours due to their numerous stops, making this option ideal for those looking to access smaller towns along the way. While the Limited Express focuses on providing a faster travel experience, the Local trains allow for deeper exploration of the Tohoku region. Both services offer Ordinary and Green class seating, catering to various passenger preferences.
