Getting around
Train & bus
3 of the journeys above are under 300 km in a straight line — usually the range where rail or coach is competitive with flying once airport time is included. Open timetables appear on Tokyo2Us where operators publish them.
Flights
Most hops here are short; flights rarely save time once you add airport transfers. 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.
