Getting there and Around Okayama

If you are traveling to Okayama from Honshu (mainland Japan), including Tokyo, you will generally have to take the Shinkansen or a night bus.
It takes about 3 hours and 30 minutes from Tokyo Station to Okayama Station using the Shinkansen Nozomi.
If you take a highway bus, it takes about 10-12 hours from Tokyo to Okayama.

Arrival at Okayama Station

Shinkansen (Express Train)

Shinkansen trains from Tokyo arrive on lines 21 and 22, and Shinkansen trains from Hakata arrive on lines 23 and 24.
The ticket gates for getting off at Okayama Station and the transfer to the conventional line are both on the second floor, one level below the station.

Bus

Buses from Tokyo and other cities arrive at the west exit side of Okayama Station.
The ANA Crowne Plaza Hotel Okayama and Via Inn Okayama are right in front of the bus terminal, so if you arrive early in the morning by night bus, you can conveniently leave your luggage there before checking in.
