What is the most recommended method of transportation?
Each means of transportation has its advantages, but I recommend the train and Shinkansen route the most.
Why train and Shinkansen are recommended
The train and Shinkansen plans are a good balance between price and time required. Other plans are less expensive, but take much longer, or take less time, but are more expensive.
The train and Shinkansen plan is not specialized in one or the other, but it is relatively inexpensive, and although the travel time is not short, it is the next quickest way to arrive after flying.If you are concerned about the time required or the price, you can choose a specialized plan.
