Buses, taxis, and rental cars are also available, but the train is generally preferred for its speed and reliability. The journey to Osaka Station takes about 50 minutes by Haruka, while a taxi can take over an hour and is significantly more expensive. Ride-sharing services are not widely used in Japan, so traditional taxis or trains are the main options.
