Some High-Speed trains around the world may be faster than the Shinkansen, but no other system runs as frequently and efficiently. Nothing compares to it.
There also is no high speed train with as clean a safety record as the Shinkansen!
Frequency of what?
Per service the most frequent service has 3-4 trains per houre, which is similar to the Madrid Barcelona service.
Stations with more than one service can have much more and in can get to a train every few minutes in such a station, like a few in Japan or Atocha in Madrid, that serves as the main hub for many services.
The single service with the highest frequency is in China.
When it comes to the total number of passengers per yesr Japan beats any other system with a huge margin.
@@AL5520 3-4 trains per hour?? No way! The Shinkansen is a LOT more frequent than that.
I think what @sakio327 is referring to is the minimum headway on the track. This is best illustrated at Odawara station, because it's the first station outside of Tokyo where not every Shinkansen stops. Checking the schedule of the Tokaido Shinkansen south from Tokyo towards Shin-Osaka, the schedule for a weekday starting 0900 is:
0900 Nozomi 121/213
0903 Hikari 505
0909 Nozomi 215
0912 Nozomi 19
0918 Nozomi 317
0921 Nozomi 123/217
0924 Nozomi 319
0927 Kodama 713
0930 Nozomi 21
...
Not every train runs every day, but actually most do, so rush hour service southbound out of Tokyo frequently sees 3-minute service on the Tokaido Shinkansen. There is only a SINGLE southbound track (the second track from the left in the video, the near tracks are toward Tokyo, the far ones, toward Shin-Osaka/Kyoto) and three levels of service---most trains are Nozomi, which stop the fewest times, so they just keep a consistent 3-minute headway, but the Hikari and especially Kodama stop more frequently (Kodama stops at every station). So at stations where Hikari 505, for example, stops (including Odawara, where the video was taken), it pulls off on the platform track and unloads and loads passengers. While it is doing so, usually a Nozomi will pass it, Hikari 505 immediately takes to the track and has to accelerate to the cruising speed of ~280 km/h before the next Nozomi catches up with it (there will be a minimum 6-minute gap between the Nozomis, but that means they have 3 minutes from the time the passing train passes to switch on to the main track, hit the gas, and get up to full speed. The leeway is only a few seconds.). I think they have to wait for a gap between two Nozomis to maintain the 3-minute headway. It's crazy to watch. As they get further out the line, if going south, beyond Osaka, the trains space out more, but also run faster, up to 320 km/h I think.
Oh the Nozomi trains are all 16 cars. First-class (green) cars hold 64 seats each, ordinary class cars more.

Definitely mad thanks for showing us this. A dear close friend of mine lives back there in her home country of Japan, upon moving from Arizona, and she tells me she takes both the Shinkansen and the subway systems as two of her daily modes of transit to and from her work.
Cool! Nice catches 👏 👍
Awesome video! Other HSR systems may be faster, but these sets are so quiet! And I can't get over that acceleration
Awesome shots.
The N700 series (N700A 2 versions and the new N700S). Fairly quiet, superb acceleration reaching top speed in 3 minutes. Most of the journey is at top speed.
the front of this train reminds me of a platypus.........good vid....thanks
Yeehaw!!! Those trains surely do fly!
WOW! Now I really want to go to Japan.
Can’t beat those N700S sets
I really wish we had this in the states.
If you like something like this, I also recommend doing some railfanning at the german stations in Montabaur or Limburg Süd (south). Basicly the same but with german ICE trains (and some more possible delays).
I like the blue and gray Nozomi 500 best.
Interesting how they have handrail things on the side and occasionally platform screen door/gates
It's mainly for passenger protection. While filming around Japan, I noticed a mix of doors/gates, rails, and nothing at all. I think it mainly depends on passenger volume and train speed through the station, as the stations I visited with fewer passengers often had less protection trackside.
What’s the inside look like? And do you have video of it going 150mph + ? Seems like near the stations not that fast….
That's some low flying. Does each car provide some power to the wheels or just the head and rear?
They’re EMUs, so there are multiple powered bogies throughout the train.
is the track speed limit of 285 km/h here mainly due to the switches at both ends of the station?
The speed limit is due to the low curve radius of the rail. Considering tokaido line is the first ever wold high speed rail service, the designed speed back then was around 200kmph. The reason speed was able to increase to 285 kmph is due to tilting technology in later N700 Shinkansen train.
What’s that thing sticking out of the top of the train? With metal looking side plates ?at about 2:12 into the video?
Gonna answer all of your questions/comments in one response. The thing sticking out of the train is a pantograph, which contacts the catenary wire above the tracks to provide power to the train. The side plates are for improved aerodynamics at high speeds. The trains are electric multiple units, with individual bogies powered throughout the train to provide more consistent and efficient power delivery. We do not have anything similar to this in the United States. The closest we have is the Acela, which only travels at 150 mph, while these trains regularly reach 190 mph. Some Shinkansen trains even reach 200 mph on the northern Tohoku Shinkansen. Ill show the inside in a full video later, this is just a bonus. As for videos at 150+, all of the flyby clips are at or near track speed, which is 285kph or 177 mph.
Someday. They will get it build between Dallas and Houston.
If your from Texas pls do a blog on the Texas eagle from Dallas to San Antonio . On how dirty and filthy the train is and on how poor the cafe food is for sleeping car passengers @amtrak
1:14 huh?
Japans known for the finger pointing gestures among its train crew. there’s a few vids talking about it’s meaning
The gist as far as I remember is that Japanese train crews usually say their observations and moves out loud, so that they always ensure they are consciously doing every step in a given procedure and don't miss anything.
@@bahnspotterEUI can’t understand the language as is 😭
It sounds dumb of me to ask, but are there often English speakers in Japan? For those interested in being there, they may not be sure how to speak it •_•
@@bahnspotterEU also don't tell me what they're saying moves the train XD
@@railfannerjs6308 No, but I didn‘t say that either. They‘re just doing these hand motions and saying their tasks to ensure to themselves that they do them consciously. Like if you left the house and said to yourself “I turned all the lights off”, so that you don’t get any doubts about it later.
