Tokyo and Osaka are both on the ocean (although, a bit roundabout path between them). You would think it would be easier to just do more cargo ships point to point.

Trucks would be low latency, low bandwidth.

Cargo ships would be high bandwidth, high latency.

For example, I think trucks would be better for perishable goods.
