| Set off from Hiroshima Station on the Nozomi, the only Shinkansen service that runs the full 800 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. |

Odawara Train Station
Tokyo Train Station
Odawara sits along the Tokaido Shinkansen line as the gateway to Hakone's hot springs, and the ride into Tokyo takes you past glimpses of Sagami Bay before the skyline appears. Since the fastest Nozomi service skips this stop, you'll be riding the Hikari or Kodama, both offering roomy seats and enough space to stow luggage without a fuss. Odawara Station sits a short walk from Odawara Castle, making it easy to fit in some sightseeing before boarding. Reserve your Odawara to Tokyo train tickets ahead of time, especially on weekends when Hakone-bound travelers fill the trains.
