Renowned for its punctuality, comfort and safety, Japan's high-speed rail network, or 'shinkansen',
boasts a travel experience unlike any other. Step aboard and be whisked from one exciting
destination to the next, with ease.
THE ULTIMATE WAY
TO TRAVEL
Linking most major cities on the islands of
Honshu and Kyushu, the trains on Japan's
high-speed rail network regularly run
at speeds of up to 300km/h and are
renowned for their punctuality and safety.
What's more, services are frequent and
comfortable. You'll be able to sit back
and relax on comfortable forward-facing
reclining chairs in carriages with large
windows. Refreshment trolleys selling
snacks and beverages are also available
throughout the journey for your
convenience. The bullet train is an
extremely popular way to travel throughout
Japan, and consists of multiple train lines
that have been specially built.
