Bullet trains - Information & Tours

Shinkansen refers to the dedicated high-speed Japanese rail network that provides a link to most major cities on the islands of Hokkaido, Honshu and Kyushu. The name "Shinkansen" is also used to refer to the trains that run on the network - which are perhaps better known to Westerners as "Bullet Trains." Renowned for their punctuality, comfort and safety, the trains are frequent and fast, regularly running at speeds of up to 186 miles per hour (300 kilometers per hour). The trains offer comfortable reclining seats and there are usually refreshment trolleys selling snacks and beverages.
