Japan Shinkansen


This is the second visit 2 Japan since the virgin Japan Disney Land visiting somewhere 2 years ago. If not mistaken only a few hours journey by Shinkansen on that holiday trip. Recent visit is a working trip, travelling across few provinces like Tokyo, Kyoto, Shin-Osaka, Yokohama, Hiroshima and Tottori, Shinkansen made the 70% involvement.

What it means by Shinkansen? That’s Bullet Train.

With a 28,300 yen seasonal ticket or JR(Japan Railway) Pass spending, it enable me a week riding, I find that Japan truly makes the rest of the world look pathetic when it comes to Shinkansen.

I told my Malaysian friends by email, most of them thought that it seems that Japan owned one Bullet Train, its more than 50 at this moment, a now introducing Shinkansen 700 Series with nearly hit 400 km/hr .

No joke, no delay, no worry of seats (some two ties, double floors), no smoking, no doubt to get drinks, no dirty toilets, no shaking (without king kong sound), no hesitation…joint me, that’s a genuine wonder of Japan besides 25th Anniversary of Japan Disney Land.
