| Set off from Hiroshima Station on the Nozomi, the only Shinkansen service that runs the full 816 kilometers to Tokyo without a transfer at Shin-Osaka. Deep-reclining seats, generous overhead space, and dedicated luggage racks make the near four-hour ride feel more like a lounge than a train car. You'll leave from a station within walking distance of the Peace Memorial Park and arrive directly at Tokyo Station, right at the center of the capital's subway and rail lines. Since all seats convert to reserved-only during major holidays, it pays to book your Hiroshima to Tokyo train tickets before you're anywhere near the platform. Both stations are well signed, so getting from the ticket gate to your seat takes only a few minutes. |

Hiroshima Train Station
Tokyo Train Station
Hiroshima sits at the western end of the Tokaido-Sanyo Shinkansen line, and the ride into Tokyo cuts straight across nearly the length of Honshu in just under four hours. Since only the Nozomi makes this full run without a transfer, you'll want reserved seating, which comes with deep recline and generous room for luggage. Hiroshima Station is a short tram ride from the Peace Memorial Park, making it easy to fit in a visit before departure. Reserve your Hiroshima to Tokyo train tickets ahead of time, especially during Golden Week or Obon when direct Nozomi seats sell out fast.
