Flight VS. Trains
It is needless to say that traveling by air is the fastest which merely takes about 3 hours, but the ticket price is the highest except in some low seasons; the longest journey is no other than ordinary rail types which takes 17.5 - 26.5 hours or so, but it saves money and is preferred by budget travelers; although only one pair of bullet trains are in service currently, they are popular for the great cost performance and the journey time is 9 - 9.5 hours.
