SHINKANSEN.... as fast as bullet..

One of the most amazing things that I discover in Japan is the shinkansen... 新幹線. Shinkansen is a high speed railway line in Japan. The network link most major cities on the islands of Honshu and Kusyu with running speeds of up to 300 km/h (186 mph), almost equal to that of a jet on the point of take-off. The trains can be up to sixteen cars long. Each car measuring 25 m in length, the longest trains are 400 m, that is 0.25 mile from front to back.

Kyoto Station

I was lucky because during our observation tour to Tokyo our trip was well planned by the course leader. We flew to Osaka and the next day, we got the chance to ride the high speed train from there Kyoto Station to Tokyo Station. We left Kyoto Station at 4.00 pm. They said that we can see the Fuji San as the shinkansen pass through it. But maybe i was asleep during the comfortable ride. he.. he..
