Yokohama to Okayama Trains

Traveling from Yokohama to Okayama can be accomplished primarily by using the Shinkansen (bullet train) services. The trip is efficiently served by the Nozomi Shinkansen, which is the fastest option available, reaching speeds up to 300 km/h (186 mph) and covering the distance in approximately 4 hours and 15 minutes. This service stops at major cities along the route, including Shinagawa and Osaka. Alternatively, travelers can opt for the Hikari Shinkansen, which also operates on this line. Although it runs at similar speeds, around 285 km/h (177 mph), it takes about 4 hours and 45 minutes due to additional stops, which include key locations like Nagoya. Both services come with various seating options, including Ordinary and Green class, catering to different comfort preferences. Onboard facilities feature spacious seating and snack options. The Nozomi is a suitable choice for those prioritizing speed, while the Hikari allows access to a wider array of station stops and scenic views.
