However, contrary to the limited expresses of Kintetsu described above, it cannot be said that limited expresses of Tobu are always dominant, except such areas as the Kinugawa hot-spring in Nikko City and Akagi-yama Mountain in Ashikaga City, where limited expresses, such as Spacia 'Ryomo,' were operated (to reach these areas using a Shinkansen line, another train on a regular railway line or private railway line or a bus must be utilized).
ただし、上述の近鉄特急と異なり、日光市・鬼怒川温泉・足利市・赤城山など、スペーシア・「りょうもう」などといった特急が直接乗り入れる箇所（新幹線では在来線や私鉄・バス等との乗換えが必要）を除き、必ずしも東武特急は優勢とはいえない。
