    Inside a train on the Shinkansan - comfortable seats and plenty of space

    From the album: Welcome, to the Shinkansen!

    This beats flying any day! A lot more leg room - and a better sensation of speed. There's actually quite a lot of people in this carriage but the Japanese are not noted for being particularly tall - which is why you can only see half of them!!

    Smooth, sleek - and fast!! East-bound high speed train on the Shinkansen

    From the album: Welcome, to the Shinkansen!

    Another awesome train at Kokura Station. (I used to be a train-spotter, you know? Does it show?!!) ? ? ? Shinkansen 新幹線 (pronounced: Shin-Kan-Sen) refers to the rail system, not the trains that run on it! 新幹線 translates, word-for-word as "New trunk line" - in other words, it's a dedicated high speed rail network. When I was in school, we used to call the trains that ran on the Shinkansen, "Bullet Trains" (Some people still do!) Here's an East-bound or "Up" train at Kokura Station in Kita Kyushu - on a very brief stop before hurtling off towards Tokyo.

    JR West 700 Series Rail Star Shinkansen at Kokura Station

    From the album: Welcome, to the Shinkansen!

    'Looks like a dream - and goes like a bat out of hell! 300km/h and smooth as silk. Very quiet too... All you can really hear is the humming of electric motors as they pick up speed.

    Tokyo-bound Shinkansen express train at Kokura
    These things run on time - to the second! And they do not stop for long at the stations. So you need to be quick, getting on and off! Especially getting off the train... You need to have all your stuff together and be lined-up at the door before the train gets to your station.

    "Bullet Train" at Kokura Shinksan Station

    From the album: Welcome, to the Shinkansen!

    The Shinkansen is Japan's high-speed rail network. The trains that run on the network, ("Bullet Trains") in the West, are smooth, slick, quiet - and very fast! They run in the region of 300km/h. Running from city center to city center all over Japan - (and without the need to check-in one hour before departure!) - they can make getting to where you actually need to be quicker than flying, if you are going anything less than from one end of the country to the other!
