 Shinkansen

Shinkansen & Mt. Fuji

 The Shinkansen is a super express train also known as the "bullet train".  It started the service in 1964, the year of the Tokyo Olympic Games.

Asama-Nagano shinkansen

 The Shinkansen network has been gradually expanding since then and now is almost nationwide from Shin-Aomori Station located in the northern part of Honshu the main island to Kagoshima-Chuo Station in the southern part of the Kyushu island.

Hayabusa-Tohoku Shinkansen

 If you take the Shinkansen between these two stations, it takes about ten and a half hours, which is much faster than the three days it takes by taking local trains one after another. The top speed at the time of starting operation was 210km/h but now it is 320km/h.

 It has a worldwide reputation for being extremely punctual and safe with very few delays and an extremely low mortality rate.
