I'll be traveling to Tokyo, Japan and would like to know how far it is between cities so that I can decide where else to go. I'm mostly interested in how long it takes to get from Tokyo to a given city by train since that seems to be the best way to travel in Japan. A link to a website that might tell me this would be appreciated.

This website will give you the route, time, and cost between your points. It will also tell you if you need to transfer and how to do so.

In the upper left corner there is a banner which says "English" click on this and type then you can start planning your trip! Good luck

The time required to travel is affected by
@ Different types of fare
(=different type of trains service)
@ Different routes
@ Different waiting time/transit time
@ Weekend/Weekday/Peak Hours/ Off-peak hours
IF you can read Japanese,
the site of ekikara can calculate all options and listed for you.
It allows you to choose listing by cost/fare, by total time, by the times of changing train, etc.
