Getting There

Car

If you're driving from anywhere within Tango, head towards the nearest expressway entrance. The closest is the Kyoto-Jukan Expressway. Once on the expressway, follow signs for the Maizuru-Wakasa Expressway and then connect to the Chuo Expressway. Continue until you reach the Tokyo area. Upon entering Tokyo, follow the signs to Minato City. The Rainbow Bridge is well-signposted once you are in the vicinity. There may be toll fees on the expressways, so keep cash or a credit card handy. The estimated driving time is around 2-3 hours, depending on traffic.
Public Transportation

To reach Rainbow Bridge using public transport, start by taking a train from your nearest station in Tango to Kyoto Station. From Kyoto Station, transfer to the Shinkansen (bullet train) heading towards Tokyo. Get off at Tokyo Station. From Tokyo Station, transfer to the Yamanote Line and head to Hamamatsucho Station. Once at Hamamatsucho Station, exit and follow the signs to the Rainbow Bridge. The entire journey could take around 3-4 hours, including transfer times. Be sure to purchase a Shinkansen ticket in advance, as prices vary.
Taxi

For a more direct route, consider taking a taxi from your location in Tango directly to Rainbow Bridge. This is convenient if you're traveling with a group or have luggage. You can ask your accommodation for assistance in booking a taxi. It’s important to note that this will be the most expensive option and may incur significant costs depending on the distance and time taken. Prepare for a journey that could take around 2-3 hours.
