City-to-city routes in Japan: quickest journey time, one-way fare, departures a day, first and last departure
The quickest way on each route, with the one-way fare (a reserved seat in an ordinary car where seats are reserved) on Wednesday 14 October 2026.
Each route page answers one journey, such as Tokyo to Osaka: which way is fastest, what it costs, how many trains, buses or flights run and when the first and last ones leave. Every number comes from the operator's own timetable or fare search for Wednesday 14 October 2026: JR Central, JR West and JR East, the private railways, the bus and ferry companies and the airports. Where an operator gives no number, we leave it out. Air fares change by date, so for flights we give the flight time and the number of flights instead.

JR times, fares and first and last trains come from JR Central's access search (Tokaido and Sanyo Shinkansen and JR Central's lines), JR West's My Dia search, JR East's timetables and JR Hokkaido's fare and timetable search, run for Wednesday 14 October 2026. Shinkansen trains a day are counted from the station timetables for the same day. Private railways, buses and ferries come from each company's own timetable and fare pages, and flights from the airports' timetables, checked against JAL's and ANA's timetables. Air fares change by date, so flights show the flight time and the number of flights instead. Where a way needs a change of train, bus or ferry, the riding time adds the rides together and leaves out the wait. Reserved-seat fares are for an ordinary car; on JR, children aged 6 to 11 pay half of the basic fare and of the limited express charge.
