Recently we have a trip from Tokushima City (Shikoku Island) to Kofu City (Honshu Island). To cross Shikoku Island to Honshu Island,we decided to go to Kobe City, which is the nearest big city that has Shinkansen Stations. There are two nearest Shinkanshen Station from Tokushima; they are Shinkobe and Nishiakashi stations. Shinkobe is better than Nishiakashi in number of sinkansen per hour. Shinkobe Station can be reached from Tokushima directly by JR bus that takes about 2 hours, and the ticket price is 3200 yen per person. From Tokushima to Nishiakashi station is needed to get down at Maiko bus stop, and then continued by train to Nishiakashi. Tokushima-Nishiakashi takes around two hours by Eddy Bus or JR Bus (2900 yen), get down at Maiko Highway Bus Stop, then continue by train (170 yen). So, we think that it will be more convenience to go to Shinkobe Station.
