Until now we have travelled slowly - but today we had our first Shinkansen experience: up to 300 km per hour I believe. Only in a plane have I experienced this speed before. Though very efficient, and nice when you look at mountains at a distance, I find that the closeness of japanese houses to the train tracks makes you feel that the high speed is slightly hazardous. Or maybe it just my age...
But let it be clear: I am very impressed with this countrywide network of high speed trains. Large posters at the station explain, that the CO2 footprint per km travelled is only 10% of a trip by air.
