Rail travel on the Shinkansen provides direct city-center access, avoiding the long transfers required for flights. While a flight from Haneda to Hiroshima is fast in the air, total travel time is comparable once airport security and transit are included. Buses are the most budget-friendly option but require over 10 hours of travel time. The Shinkansen offers the most frequent departures and space for passengers, making it the preferred choice for this corridor.

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