Exciting! Tokyo is only an hour flight from Misawa. You can also take the bullet train which is around 3 hours. The cost is relatively the same for a flight or bullet train, around 30,000 yen round trip ($200-$250). Since the yen is weak right now it makes it much more affordable for foreigners to travel Japan.
