I rode the Hayabusa, the fastest Shinkansen in Japan.
This Shinkansen has a top speed of 320 km/h, which is quite fast.
I chose a seat called “Grand Class,” which is like a first class seat on an airplane.
The interior of the Grand Class car is luxurious and a sumptuous light meal is served.
The boarding section : Sendai – Shin-Aomori.

This time I will take the Tohoku Shinkansen Hayabusa. The fastest Shinkansen with a maximum speed of 320 km/h and 200 mph. Also, the seats are Grand Class, the highest class seats. Delicious meals will also be served.
And as you head towards the end of the line, you will be approaching a heavy snowfall area. Please see to the end. Hello! I am now at Sendai station. From here to Shin-Aomori Station in Aomori And this time, my seat is in Grand Class, the first class of the Shinkansen.
I am very excited to see what kind of seat I will have. The number of trains is only 2 per hour. And the train is coming. The Hayabusa is usually connected with the red Shinkansen “Komachi” that goes to Akita. And behind the coupled train is the “Hayabusa” heading for Shin-Aomori or Hokkaido.
And you can see the rearmost part. The face part is elongated. This is to reduce air resistance and increase speed. Hayabusa on the opposite side also departs. This one does not have the Komachi in the back. And here comes the Hayabusa, which I will ride this time. Let’s get on.
The Grand Class is No. 10 car of Hayabusa. It is the front of the train from the direction of travel. It is the part closest to the Komachi. Passing through the green car, When you open this door… Grand class The seats are spacious. 2 rows of seats and 1 row seat
Different atmosphere in dark and light. The ceiling is also spacious and beautiful. There are tunnels in some places, so it gets brighter and darker repeatedly. There is also a large amount of leg room… You can stretch out your legs without hitting the seat in front of you.
And the section from Sendai to Morioka has the highest speed. Roughly 316 km/h. In this section, the speed is usually not less than 300 km/h. If converted into mph, it would be about this much. The lights around the window are beautiful. And the back of the seat has a luxurious feel.
And from near the seat… A desk appears. The seat can slide. And it’s time for dinner. Drinks are non-alcoholic wine. I chose Japanese food. And open. Stylish and delicious. I eat with chopsticks specially designed for Grand Class. Bon appétit. First, carrots rolled with dried tofu. Taste of luxury.
It was also accompanied by green beans. Then the drinks. Non-alcoholic sparkling wine Then, let’s have it. Delicious. Then, tuna tsukudani! Cooked tuna is also delicious. I will have one more glass of wine. Burdock root kenchen. Simmered cod. Salmon and surimi. Steamed seafood. Okara (bean curd) tart pastry.
The texture of the tart is delicious. This is the most popular among them. It was a luxurious meal. Thanks for the food. Looking out, you can see the landscape of Japanese fields in winter. In the back you can see beautiful snow-capped mountains. The landscape on the opposite side.
This is the iced coffee I ordered as an extra. The glass also has the Grand Class mark clearly marked. With gum syrup and milk. It tastes refreshing. Here we arrive at Morioka. I go outside to see the Komachi detachment.
It is the first car of the Grand Class Hayabusa, so it is easy to go to see the detachment. It has started to move. Farewell, Komachi. Back to the Hayabusa. Now, let me introduce the amenities around the seat.
First of all, here is a set that you can get from the attendant when you board. The contents are… Water. Next… A pamphlet. Open it and you will find the menu of food and beverages. There are not only soft drinks but also alcohol. Many lineups. This is all you can drink.
And you can choose not only Japanese food but also Western food for the light meal you just had. Even the names of the dishes are written in detail. Then there was also hand towel included. And I’m glad… Salted chocolate. Let’s open it. Looks delicious. Let’s eat. The salt is a nice salty flavor.
It is a nice point to have such a present. By the way, there is another piece of salted chocolate. And one of the great features of this Grand Class is the reclining seat. There are lots of buttons and lots of variety. A button for general reclining.
You can even just fold down your head. You can also raise or lower the middle part. And you can raise and lower your legs. It looks like you can also widen this part. Now let’s go to the restroom. There is a washbasin in the front of the Grand Class room.
And a pretty red door. Behind this one. There is a toilet. It is somewhat spacious There is a button to open and close the door here, too. There seems to be no bidet. Unlike summer, it is nice to see from the window in winter. There’s something in here, too. They were slippers.
The area is now covered in snow. As we approached Shin-Aomori, we could see snow around the area. A beautiful silver world. I heard that the amount of snowfall is still less than usual. By the way, you can see such beautiful scenery on a snowy day.
If you want to go sightseeing in a heavy snowfall area, you should come on a snowy day! It was snowing heavily on this day. This train was bound for Shin-Aomori, so it was almost chartered. I forgot to mention that there is a light here. By the way, the storage is on the top.
It is sealed up like an airplane. Houses can be seen, and we are getting closer to the center of Aomori. We have arrived at Shin-Aomori. This is where I say goodbye to the Shinkansen. Hayabusa” is also stopped on the opposite side. Aomori’s famous “Nebuta” welcomes us. It’s so cool!
And there is a food stand at the station. You can buy bento box lunches and traditional Japanese sweets. There is also a Nebuta here. Nebuta here, too. his road is called Nebuta Road. Surprisingly, there is not much snow outside.
Aomori Prefecture is the only place in the world where you can see this vending machine. It is an apple juice vending machine. There are four kinds of apple juice. Fuji. Apple O-Rin. Tsugaru. I buy O-Rin. Bon appétit. It is sweeter than I imagined. O-Rin is one of the sweetest varieties of apples!
The difference in taste of each variety is explained here It also describes other kinds of apples besides the four varieties, so you can buy another variety of apple juice if you go to other places Then eat what you just bought at the food stand. Freshly baked apple pie.
Apple pie made with Aomori’s famous apple. It is delicious with apples stuffed inside. The texture is also crispy. And… Sweets using apples. This is a typical Austrian Viennese pastry, Upfelstrudel, which contains not only Aomori apples, but also raisins and walnuts. It is also delicious. This is a standard Aomori souvenir.
The train arrived, so we took the local train to the next location. How was Grand Class and Aomori’s food? I look forward to hearing your comments on Grand Class and Aomori. Any comments are welcome. Thank you very much!
