Riding the Shinkansen at a speed of 310 kms/hour very much feels like flying in a jetliner without actually getting airborne. The inside of the train is designed like the inside of a Boeing or Airbus aircraft and looking out the window and seeing the countryside go by so fast really gives anyone a good feel for the awesome power of this train. Unforgettable ride!

  • imagine if one of those were to crash

  • A crash would be devastating and a human tragedy, no doubt... But there are all kinds of safety systems in the events of earthquakes, etc. What I worry about the most is some lunatic blowing up the rails as one of these trains goes by. Not a regular crash. That I know of, there has never been a Shinkansen crash. And this train has been around 40 years. That makes it safer than a plane.

  • I cannot wait for the MAGLEV (Magnetic Levitatio) train to come on line in the next few years. 500 KM/HOUR speed and no turbulences. I have to try that!!!

  • Sure I will. When I go on the Shinkansen I will send my videos to Youtube.

  • You have to, I went in February and took Shinkansens all over Japan, I had a fantastic time, Japan is an awesome country, I'll will be going back there many times in the future.

  • Nice video

  • Me too. One day I would go on the Bullet train when I go to Japan.

  • Serving snacks at 300Kph on the ground!! Love it.
