The Shinkansen trains are very wide (3.36 meters, compared to about 2.9 meters for most continental European trains), which means that there's plenty of space for even the longer journeys on the 2+3 seating sections. I travelled from Tokyo to Kyoto - a journey of about 3 hours on a Hikari semi-fast service - in the regular seats, and it never became uncomfortable for even a moment. The leg room is amazing and the seat width is actually better than what you'll find on a British intercity train.

@@YukariAkiyama There are no Shinkansen trains to Hakone. That was likely the Odakyu Romancecar train, which runs on narrow-gauge track. It is much slower than the Shinkansen.

While you're in Japan, you should try some of the rural trains with hundreds of tunnels. Many are not electric. Like the Geibi Line or The Nanki. Great views of the countryside. The tiny stations are pretty much concrete slabs, and some mid-size ones look like gardens. And of course, there's the sleeper trains - double-checker rooms. At major stations with 6+ tracks during "rush hour" Watch the trains come and go in both directions. Never see anything like that anywhere. A train can leave Track #3 going west, and less than a minute later, a train is coming to a stop on track 3 going east. But with 6~8 tracks, there are constantly trains moving.

Great video.thx so much. As one of the daily users of this shinkansen service, i reckon it has got a bit less convenient than the previous way of services, which connected Nagasaki and Hakata directly. Although Shinkansen itself is very good and comfortable as free wifi and power outlets have installed every seat,it just reduced about 10 minutes between Nagasaki and Hakata and added extra connecting. Another problem is that it's still unclear when the rest of the shinkansen will open(Takeo Onsen to Hakata). Local authorities and JR have been arguing what kinds of services(1435mm shinkansen services or free gage train services) are the best more than 40 years 😮
@dangeorge809 Жыл бұрын
What they're still arguing over as far as halting progress on the rest of the line is the route it's going to take to Hakata. Competing cities are desperate to get a stop there to boost the local economy. Until they sort that out and get the rest of the line built, there's absolutely zero convenience of the Nishi-Shinjuku Shinkansen. In fact, unless you take one with an immediate connection waiting on the other side (and not all of them have them), it's actually longer than the old Kamome Limited Express (which was a really lovely trip down along the southern coast of the Nagasaki Peninsula), and at best the same travel time as the old line.

There’s really very little benefit for Saga to go along with it.

This probably needs some context. Normally, when you travel within a single operator network in Japan, you buy tickets from the station you enter to the station you exit, no matter how many trains you change on the way there. However, if you get on a shinkansen or certain Special Express trains, you additionally need separate Special Express tickets for each shinkansen/Special Express you get on. If it's a reserved seat, it serves as a proof of reservation, and in any case it's to cover costs associated with running high-speed trains that skip many stations. This special "relay scheme" allows you the convenience to buy a single Special Express ticket to ride both the actual Kamome shinkansen and Relay Kamome Special Express trains, as well as prices them cheaper than two separate Special Express tickets would be otherwise.

Impressive indeed👍. I do wish possible any similar high speed train where i live now, in the Philippines. I am not sure being ever a reality even if highly populated, just like Japan. I also wish in Norway, where i am from. But right there THE IMMPOSIBLE DREAM. Too few inhabitants with a surface content not so much different from that of Japan and Philippines 🇯🇵🇵🇭

Why does it look like an Alfa Romeo?

What did you think of the relay service? For me, it was the bumpiest train I've ever been on in Japan. The rails must be quite warped.

As someone who lives in the UK, £21 is a bargain.

It costs £13 just to travel from East Croydon to London Victoria and back which is a total distance of around 20 miles!

The interior looks much better than that of the Tokaido and Sanyo line which use the same train model (Tokaidou-sanyo use a mixed of N700, N700A, and N700S). As far as I know, there is no luggage compartment on Tokaidou-sanyo line.

In fact, even the Tokaido Sanyo Shinkansen has newly increased the number of locker spaces that can be used if reserved in advance.

when you dribble the 250 km/h mark, you have to blast some eurobeat if travelling on the shinkansen
