Hi! We are super-happy to have you here as well!
Yeah, Google loves the bullet train and in terms of transfers, that likely is the smoothest route. However(!) it should be noted that the vast majority of highway coach buses are not accessible. You can store your wheelchair in the luggage area if needed, but you will need to be able to climb the steps into the bus. So, it can work for some people, but not an option if you cannot walk.
In Google maps you can choose your transportation preference and if you choose “train” there is an option where you take 3 trains to get there. It also takes a long time! (See picture)
In general, even in the country trains/stations should be accessible, and stations where you transfer tend to be bigger and better equipped. But this was just a quick search. If you decide to go this route, please let us know and we can check accessibility in more detail. 😀
If you do go for a car, it is about 3 hours. While I think @ohayotravel might be able to help arrange it, it would likely be very expensive for a taxi.
