| The Nozomi departs Tokyo Station and threads its way west through Nagoya, Kyoto, and Osaka before rolling into Hiroshima roughly four hours later, all without a single change of trains. Wide, cushioned seats and plenty of luggage storage make the long stretch pass easily, whether you nap through it or watch the landscape shift from urban sprawl to coastline. Boarding at Tokyo Station connects you to the entire city's transit network right from the start, and stepping off at Hiroshima Station puts you close to the Peace Memorial Museum and the ferry terminal for Miyajima. Seats fill up fast around Golden Week and Obon, so reserve your Tokyo to Hiroshima train tickets well before your travel dates. Signage at both ends of the journey makes locating your platform a non-issue. |

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.
