From fastest (183mph) on the Shikansen bullet train through a sliding scale via a regional train to a local train, today finds us at the end in Tsumago. We braved a packed Tokyo station where seemingly issues with the ticket gate meant manual ticket checks – and not the scene from a zombie horror flick as crowds push towards a limited exit.
