What is the most recommended method of transportation?
Each means of transportation has its advantages, but I recommend the Bullet Train route the most.
Why Bullet Train are recommended
We recommend the Shinkansen route from Kansai Airport to Hiroshima. The fare for the Shinkansen is more expensive than that for the bus, but the time required is significantly different.
The time required for sightseeing and dining is much more enjoyable than the longer time spent in transit. However, since transfers are required, the easiest route is to combine the Kansai Airport Line toll train and the Shinkansen bullet train.
