I haven't posted much in this group so I was looking through some of my photos and thinking of what to post. Then as I looked through some shinkansen photos, I remembered this great video. You guys may enjoy it!

The shinkansen is really an amazing train. Not only is it super fast, up to 320 km/h (387.5 in one brief section on the main line) but it has amazing service. The seats are nice inside with plenty of legroom. A cabingirl comes down every now and again with a snack cart if you feel like a beer or some food. These days most of the trains have power and usb outlets. Tickets are on the pricy side, so you do pay for all this convenience, but once in a while that is ok.

They are also very clean. That is due to very good cleaning crews who come in and clean the place. What is amazing is the speed they do this at. I've witnessed this in person many times. They really fly through there. Watch the video to see it in action!
