This video is about one of the fastest trains in the world, Japanese Shinkansen Bullet train
Half a century ago in 1964, Japan built the world’s first high-speed rail network — a network that remains the gold standard in train travel today
The Japanese shinkansen bullet train, is one of Japan’s most prominent technological advancement and it receives a lot of attention from overseas. It is also one of the top fastest train in the world.
It’s one of the most iconic images of modern Japan: a needle-nosed bullet train speeding past majestic Mt. Fuji, the tallest mountain in the country. The picture not only signifies a triumph of technology over nature, it symbolizes a reverence for engineering design and natural beauty that is one of the hallmarks of Japanese culture. In effect, the bullet train represents Japan itself.
Spacious, clean and comfortable, Japan’s Shinkansen Bullet trains are an extension of the continuing Japanese quest for innovation and efficiency. As the doors close — right on time — the noise of the station is left behind. I always relish how peaceful these trains are, and how softly your fellow passengers speak. With bullet train speeds reaching almost 200 mph (321 km/h), there’s a real thrill in watching the scenery whip past.
Once you have boarded your train, it’s time to settle down and relax. Refreshment carts are pushed through the cabins at regular intervals, selling snacks, beer, hot drinks and ice cream
You’ll find your fellow passengers very respectful — loud talking and phone noise is considered a faux-pas. Despite the quietness, it’s a social atmosphere on board and Japanese families often share food and drinks together. The seats swivel round to allow passengers to create their own little booths.
Stops are announced in Japanese and English, which makes them difficult to miss. Such is the accuracy of the train timetable. I’d suggest choosing a hotel within walking distance of the station, so it’s easy to get around.
