Services with Longest Runtime

[Shinkansenrailfan]

Hi, just curious but what are some of the longest runtimes for trips?

 

I know that for Tokyo, the Atami-Kuroiso Trip is the longest, but are there any services in the opposite direction? (Towards Atami/Numazu)

I'd say the following:

 

For Shinkansen, the longest is the majority of Nozomi runs, which take about 5 hours to complete one-way from Tokyo to Hakata.

 

For zairaisen runs, in terms of time elapsed (minus the Sunrise Seto/Izumo overnight train), I'd include the Super Oki from Shin-Yamaguchi to Tottori (I believe around 5.5 hours) and the regular train between Toyohashi and Kami-Suwa on mostly the JR Central Iida Line, which can take around 7 hours.
