Rail travel on the Hokuriku Shinkansen is faster than the bus and more direct than flying, as it eliminates long airport transfers. High-speed trains depart frequently from central Ueno. Highway buses offer lower prices but take significantly longer, often over 6 hours. While flights to Toyama Airport exist from Haneda, the train journey from Ueno remains the most time-efficient choice for city-center travel.

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