Getting around

Train & bus

Distances between the main places are long, so compare overnight rail and coach with short flights. Open timetables appear on Tokyo2Us where operators publish them.

Flights

7 of the journeys above are 500 km or more, where a domestic flight often saves the most time. Recent cached fares show when available; everything else is an estimate.

Driving & ferries

Driving times come from live road routing (OSRM). Where a road crosses water, car-ferry segments are shown separately so you can book them.
