Made in Japan – How the Shinkansen Bullet Train is Japan is regularly serviced and maintained. We’re at the JR Tokai Oikichi Shinkansen Bullet Train Depot, where routine train inspections and repairs take place. Dating back to 1964 in Japan, JR Tokai Shinkansen has been safely transporting passensengers between Osaka and Tokyo, resulting in the busiest train line in Japan. And all this wouldn’t be possible without the Oikichi Shinkansen Train Depot, ensuring that every single train is operating at peak performance. In all, requiring 1400 skilled workers at this depot alone to make it all happen. And I’m taking you inside to show you how even their regular train maintenance and service uniquely earns a spot in my made in Japan series. Every year, all new hired workers must undergo 1 month of training here and completely pass the in-house skills tests before their allowed to work on the Shinkansen. It makes sense considering that 450,000 passengers everyday ride this bullet train so safety in all respects is paramount to its operation. The N700S shinkansen bullet train isthe newest model Tokaido Shinkansen, launched in 2020. It’s the upgraded version of the N700A, so it looks similar to the previous model but with additional features to enhance passengers comfort and experience. I’ll show all of this in this video so I hope you enjoy.

Great video, Paolo! I love Japan's cultural policy of complete attention to detail. For Shinkansen, the result is apparent in its appearance and safety record. 👍
Sana may ganitong service din ng paglilinis ng tren ang pinas…. Kaso wala eh….. Station pa nga lang dugyot na…. Rail tracks hindi namimaintain ng maayos…. Paglilinis ng train bara bara…. Kaya kahit bago mga train dito sa pinas….. Wala rin ito kumapara sa Japan…
i think this video has been reuploaded, i remember watching this before
this is really satisfying to watch
Perfect timing, my son and I just read some books about trains.
I love this channel so much, especially this series where you go around and see things work in Japan. Your Day in life series makes me feel good about my job currently. Seeing how things are in your country makes me thing my job is very lenient. I work in retail my job is being a produce clerk. I stock produce and check to see if it’s good enough to put out on the floor. I like to pretend I’m in a day in life video when I go to work because of you 😂
Please do a “Day in the life” video for a Produce clerk in your most popular retail grocery store. I wanna see what that’s like.
日本人です！！！
So inspiring to see such dedicated maintenance personnel in action.
Bravo Paolo from Tokyo!
I work at a tram maintenance. Watching this makes me feel like working in the middle age. 😀
I can't imagine a country without natural resources so advanced like this, and there a continent with so much resources depending on the aid giving to them , that breaks my heart why the world is so unfair to some
I very much enjoy how PSA these videos feel. If only you could do series in other countries, maybe when your boy is more grown up! (Or not, these are awesome videos regardless!)
Thanks again! 🍻
Sir please make video about the philippines. Why always japan? Are you ashamed of your country? There is a lot to discover here
Thank you
Hi Mr. Paolo! I hope you can feature electrical engineer there in Japan.
May God Bless your family!💛
The NY MTA can learn a thing or two about cleaning trains from JR
More like an airline than a traditional train. A very good airline!
and here in america the inspectors take a shit on the door and go nap instead
Wish South African transport Minister could watch this
I always watch videos from Japan, so much to learn from❤
Moisture-detecting hand brush is so smart!
The shinkansen is like being on a plane that doesn't take off
Paolo, I think out of all of your vids, this one strikes me as being the most unique. The workers cooperated fully, and I love how they turn to the camera to answer the questions. No hesitation. Always enthusiastic. Editing, cameral work… Great production values, here. 🙂
This is better than a office job…
When taking the train is part of your daily life, and the experience always seems the same each time, it's so easy to overlook how much work really goes into maintaining those huge trains.
hey Paolo if you see this how About Boats? video? if that possible
Thank you for this awesome video 🙂 My favorite part is the cleaning works
no words can express when i first ride with this massive piece of engineering.i flew with boeing 777 airbus A380 but Shinkansen just set it apart.
3M congratulations paolo
you sound sick paolo
Your videos are just amazing
