Japan's major train line, the Shinkansen stops in Hamamatsu.
From Nagoya to Hamamatsu is about 50 minutes on the Shinkansen, from Osaka and Tokyo are 1.5-2 hours.
(Note: there are three types of Shinkansen trains, the Nozomi, the Hikari and the Kodama. All types travel at the same speed on the rails, but the Nozomi goes straight from Tokyo to Osaka with a single stop in Nagoya. The Hikari trains skip some stations (different ones depending on the schedule) while a Kodama stops at every station.)
So all Kodama trains and at least one Hikari train per hour will stop at Hamamatsu.
Once you arrive in Hamamatsu Station, we are just 25 minutes away from Hamamatsu by the local train - the Entetsu line.
You will find the local train at the “Shin-Hamamatsu” station, which is a few minute walk from the Shinkansen train exit.
