With a population of over three million people, Yokohama is Japan's second largest city. It is located less than 30 minutes south of Tokyo by train, and is the capital city of Kanagawa Prefecture.
============================================
JR Tokaido Shinkansen
about 15 minutes from Tokyo Station to Shin-Yokohama
All kodama and selected hikari and nozomi trains on the Tokaido Shinkansen stop at Shin-Yokohama Station. Shin-Yokohama is about 10-15 train minutes from Yokohama Station and Yokohama's city center.
Yokohama is served by four railway companies (JR East, Tokyu Railway, Keikyu Railway and Sagami Railway), a municipal subway line and a bus network.

The city has two major railway stations: Yokohama Station and Shin-Yokohama Station ("New Yokohama Station"). Train lines of all four railway companies and the subway line pass through Yokohama Station, which is located in the city center.

Shin-Yokohama Station, on the other hand, is located outside of the city center, about 10 minutes from Yokohama Station by the JR Yokohama Line or the municipal subway. The shinkansen (bullet trains) stop at Shin-Yokohama Station.
===========================================================

Nagoya and Osaka are connected with each other by the JR Tokaido Shinkansen. Nozomi trains require about 55 minutes to reach Nagoya from Shin-Osaka Station, while hikari and kodama trains take between 55 and 70 minutes.
============================================

The easiest way to view Mount Fuji is from the train on a trip along the Tokaido Line between Tokyo and Osaka. If you take the shinkansen from Tokyo in direction of Nagoya, Kyoto and Osaka, the best view of Mount Fuji can be enjoyed from around Shin-Fuji Station on the right hand side of the train, about 40 to 45 minutes after leaving Tokyo.
