Is the Bullet Train the Best Choice for Luxury Transfers?
Shinkansen routes link Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, and Kanazawa efficiently. First Class (Green) and Gran Class offer comfort.
Gran Class provides wide seating, quiet cars, and at-seat service—ideal for two- to three-hour hops. A porter can assist with luggage at stations, or use a luggage-forwarding service so you board light. For door-to-door ease, pair shinkansen with chauffeured pickups at both ends.
If privacy is paramount, consider charter rail cars on select routes or substitute with luxury car transfers between closer cities.
