Spring Airlines Japan
These airlines fly in and out of Japan’s major airports, such as Haneda and Narita Airports in Tokyo, Kansai Airport in Osaka, Central Japan
Airport in Nagoya, Fukuoka Airport, Shin-Chitose Airport in Sapporo and Naha Airport in Okinawa.
The airline industry in Japan has become competitive in recent years, with domestic airfare promotions and discounts frequently offered. This
sometimes makes planes an affordable travel alternative to the Shinkansen (bullet train network).
Shinkansen
The Shinkansen (bullet train network) is the fastest transport for intercity travel. It has been around for many decades now and continues to
be a popular choice among both local and international tourists who are looking for a fast, efficient, and reasonably-priced way to explore the
country.
Today, there are multiple Shinkansen lines in Japan, extending from Kagoshima in the south to Hakodate in the north. The network is run by
Japan Railways (JR).
