JAPAN'S BULLET TRAIN - Shinkansen (Fuji to Kyoto)

The Shinkansen bullet train is one of the fastest trains in the world, and today we are going to be riding this famous train from Mount Fuji to Kyoto. We start off the video exploring the area around the iconic Mount Fuji and then head on to the world-renowned Shinkansen to see what the experience is like.

外国人が日本で楽しでくれるのはうれしいが、さすがに新幹線でこれはマナー違反。

[@qwqw9367]

Shinkansen seats are not space in your home. Playing with Shinkansen seats is insane. You should act politely.

[@fayetravels5403]

Hope foreigners should observe manners though. It sad sometimes that they don't know how to respect the etiquette set while riding the shinkansen.

[@vmsvax2130]

以前は新幹線を楽しんでくれてありがとうという気持ちでしたが，最近は，自分の席の後ろの席にユーチューバーが座って，動画に説明を入れていたらうるさくて嫌だろうなと思います。多少の会話は許容できますが，携帯電話や動画作成をされるのは嫌です。

It's very safe because there is an automatic earthquake detection system(called UrEDAS) and obstacle detection system, which automatically stops before the seismic waves reach. They are fully equipped with the whole Shinkansen system, and it is famous that there have been zero deaths since its opening.

[@da4291]

Welcome to Japan! Let me make one regretful announcement. The train you have just boarded is called Tokaido Shinkansen, which works the same way as many other trains in the world. The floating train is a high-speed train called the Linear Chuo Shinkansen. This Linear Chuo Shinkansen is still under construction.

[@d-s-ll2378]

Great video! 😍

[@sadakichi1000]

In exchange for preferential tax treatment, Japanese cars, especially those with yellow license plates, have a set displacement, length, width, and height. (Engine displacement 660cc or less, length 3.4m or less, width 1.48m or less, height 2.0m or less) Therefore, many of them are square shaped to maximize the volume of the car. Not only do these vehicles offer tax benefits, but they also consume less fuel, making them excellent for use by a single driver for daily shopping and commuting. Currently, about 40% of all new cars sold in Japan are of this standard. There are also two-seater mid-ship sports types, 4WD SUVs, and agricultural trucks. Some vehicles are equipped with turbocharged engines.

[@Joelfriend]

Oh really, when we looked it up online it says the wheels pull upwards at speeds of over 150kph, could you point me in the direction of a website to explain how these trains work! Thank you! :)

[@user-ps3bt9do9f]

Thank you for introducing my country Japan！ I'm afraid Shinkansen so far cannot levitate. You're talking about Linear Chuo Shinkansen, which is under construction and will operate later than 2027. It's maximum speed will be about 500 km/h. The present fastest 320 km/h is only in Tohoku Shinkansen between Tokyo and Tohoku, north east of Japan.

[@marchlike7069]

Yoshinoya, Nakau, Sukiya are recommended because they are cheaper than ramen shops. Katsuya is about the same price as ramen. ·Gyudon『beef bowl』 ·Oyakodon『chicken&egg bowl』 ·katsudon 『Pork cutlet bowl』 ·unagi『eel bowl』 ·tonkatsu『Pork cutlet』 Popular with foreigners. A full-fledged eel restaurant costs about 50 pounds. Full-fledged sushi restaurants and sukiyaki restaurants are also expensive.

[@dragon77411]

In Kyoto, high-rise buildings cannot be built by ordinance in order to preserve the old townscape. That's why hotels in Kyoto are unusually small with only rooms.

[@melocitysolo9574]

Hey, it seems that Japan is currently building a new type of bullet train called the maglev Shinkansen, which will use superconducting technology to float and travel above the tracks. When completed, it's rumored to reach speeds of over 500 kilometers per hour! It's hard to believe, right? I mean, it's something I'd definitely want to experience at least once in my lifetime. You should check out the KZbin videos of the test runs they've uploaded.

[@SuperSymbol]

Probably takes untill 2027 to be completed or maybe not, Since Shizuoka is protesting not to dig tunnel for maglev. As not only it can harm the environment and forests, animals will have no place to live and come down to people’s house.

Can I ask which station you departed from and arrived to?

[@diegomatamoros3940]

Nice video but first of all, the 320 km/h is on the tohoku Shinkansen and not the Tokaido, and second is that once reached a certain speed the wheels doesn’t go up in order for the train to levitate bc that only happens in the under construction chuo shinkansen which has maglev system but this one goes with wheels during the whole trip as this train can’t levitate

Hello @Joel Friend!!! Just saw your YT video of going from Mt. Fuji -> Kyoto (via Shinkansen Mishima station)!! Question for you - how did you guys rent a car in Fuji and drop it off @ Mishima station? It looks like 1 hour drive from Fuji to Mishima station to get on to Shinkansen to Kyoto, but Google maps tells you to go back to Tokyo and then from Tokyo to Kyoto. We wanted to take train direct from Fuji to Kyoto and wanted your opinions and best route you took!! Thank you!!! Just DMéd you on IG as well!! Thanks!
