🚶♂️ FIVE FEET from a full speed Japan Shinkansen Bullet Train フルスピード日本新幹線から5フィート

- 🚶♂️Do you like thrills?? Come with me as we stand roughly five feet from a quarter-mile long Bullet Train running at an average speed of 262kmh (164mph)!!
Normally it's impossible to get this close to a full-speed Shinkansen (Japanese word for Bullet Train) though on this little farm road the engineers had to build the protective fence as close as possible in order to provide room for the road. Add to this the fact that the train is leaning TOWARDS us as it corners and we have the makings of a real close encounter! The blast of air as the train passes is almost enough to us off our feet!
I've deliberately edited out all location information in this video as the fence here appears to have been compromised by vandals and I therefore would not want to give the location away. (KB)
Ask.com describes the Shinkansen as the fasted listen train service in the world. :-)

That's one of the coolest things I've seen in awhile! It flew by in 5.7 seconds, and I heard 16 carriages including end pieces, which would make it about 1350 ft with some gaps. That means the train blew you by at about 260 km/h. Sick!
There's always this one guy in the comments who calculates everything, and that seems to be you. Great job doing those calculations, man! You're great.
@@zocorzwiftshot Thank you! Not sure what made me re-visit this video again from 10 years ago, but I'm glad I did! Have a great day!
@@incyphe God damn, didn't think you'd return! Rock and stone!
I love the high pitch hum at 4:55 before the train comes. It’s like a “warning, train is coming” right before the train flies by.
i wonder if that sound is the result of the wheels approachin the speed of sound being carried threw the rsils like resonance
@@enayes21 Maglev trains don't have wheels. But some vibration is definitely being created to produce the sound.
@@koreanjesus1983 it’s clearly not a maglev train. You can see the rails
@@extrude22 Holy crow! I thought the Shikansen was a maglev. I assumed it was because of the speed it is able to achieve. Thanks for correcting my mistake. So Aenayus White is correct.
4:55 for the train
6:41, too.
not all heroes wear cape
thx!
benmou89 When I saw the one at 2:56 I thought there would be no more shots. Fortunately, there was the one you mentioned, which is the best so far.
Hom Tanks it shows the train a couple times. Once just after the start, around 4min and then your time
the snail is at 2:29 - you're welcome
Thank you?
fastest thing I've ever seen...
Shoulda thrown that snail onto the train as it passed by. Talk about speed boost
@@sonicsupersam7793 LOL XD you're welcome
The fastest thing in the universe
I go back and watch this video every so often. Love how immersive it is with all the cicadas in the background too. ❤
Hello Thomas, Thank you for your nice comment. I'm delighted that you enjoy this video enough to watch it again. Thank you for letting me know. Maybe I will go back here and make a sequel? Have a wonderful day! :-)
Me too, so much so that I plan to visit here on my first ever trip to Japan
This is REAL train-spotting!
Thank you for sharing this experience with me! :-)
It's hardly a train at all.
how is it hardly a train? it's not called the bullet train for the lols.. it's still a train
Wesley Holt right
Man can you imagine if this happened in America? Sadly that’s not gunna happen but I’m optimistic about it!
The original 1960's Bullet trains used to sound like jet engines! Fast and deafening! These newer ones are faster and quieter. Progress! Great video!
No train will ever be as fast as a plane.
nickmageebrown1981 Japan’s maglev train set to be introduced in 2027 will be almost as fast as a plane, at 500 mph
@@gavcom4060 nah not even close, its 500 KPH which is 310 MPH while a plane does 950+ KPH or 575+ MPH

1:57 sound of bullet train transforming into Optimus Prime
More like Godzilla
@@niladribiswas9130 my thoughts exactly
The "Harley" in the tunnel are shockwaves generated by the train. The part that stick out of the tunnel like a barrel is actually a silencer like you find under you car. The nose of this trains are developed in a windtunnel to minimize the shockwave at their service speed. This is done because they have to travel between old buildings and homes where people like to stay in their bed at night.
Japan started with high speed trains in the early 60tis with the bullet train, named after the chape of the nose. The first series are now called series 0. The train you saw here is the series N-700 with have a service speed of 300 km/h.
When France stepped in with their TGV, which was a lot faster as the series 0 and the series 100 and 200, they discovered the shockwave generated by the train, especially in tunnels. This wave is formed by the air which can not fully escape at the sides and roof of the train when they ride through the tunnel. So they push the wave forward which result in a sound that look like a sonic boom and is equally loud just before the train exit the tunnel.
The French soon knew that the track at the time were not good enough for the TGV's service speed of 275 km/h. So they build special new routes for the TGV. This include new, wider tunnels for the air to escape and silencers at the end of the tunnel.
The Japanese faced a problem in building the French way. That problem was space. The mountainous country has limited space and there already were a lot of railroads in Japan which are still today a 3 feet, 3 inch narrow track. Which is not a unwise choice in the mountains with sharp curves, steep climbs and limited space to build in the often hard volcanic rock which Japan is made of.
Narrow track was not stable enough for high speed trains, so they have to build the normal track which is 4 feet, 8.5 inch. It was impossible for the Japanese railroad company to widen up all tunnels and make complete new routes. At the older tunnels, now with the wider normal track, this trains just fit in the tunnel. The other problem was that the train came very close to peoples homes. Close enough that the shockwave would crumble down the homes within a few years.
So they came up with this strange looking design of the nose of the train which is designed to brake up the shockwave for a part under the train and the major part straight up. Make old tunnels higher can be a easier task then widen them if your space is limited sideways. This with the silencers at the end of the tunnels reduce the sonic boom like shockwaves to that "Harley" in the tunnel you heard.
4.85 inch is American gauge...
I'm an aeroapace fluids engineer, and you explained that like a pro. I knew the sound was due to the aerodynamic effects somehow but your writeup was complete.
I've been on these trains (in Japan, not Europe) and they are IMPRESSIVE. The Japanese are amazing problem solvers and the silencers at the tunnel ends were exactly that - a clever, workable solution to a potentially serious problem. Kudos.
even watching it on screen right at the end when the train rockets past, was exhilarating. I can't imagine what it was like to be there!
It's fucking amazing.
I've always wanted to do this. All the little things about Japan are what make it so special, but this side of Japan is just plain awesome.
This video captures the sound of the micro-pressure waves generated by a high-speed trains slipstream exiting a tunnel very well.
+David Macchia So that's what that sound was... Thank you. :-)
Gotta go verbose
Uh.. Can you please explain me😅
Henry Stixk The train slices through the air so fast and it collides in the tunnel which causes the air to vibrate enough to make sound.
iamstd2 I get it now. Thx
It's nostalgic for me to watch this because I always watch this specific video back then when I was like 5 years old. You made my childhood happy tysmm
Thank you for your nice message and for sticking with me so long. I’m glad that I could pay part in your childhood. Have a wonderful day! 😊👍🌸
This videos is a feast for the ears with my good earbuds in. The insects all chirping! 💜
I'm glad you found the video sound interesting. I have always found Japan to be a rich and interesting environment for the ears. Have a great day! :-)
Amazing Japanese infrastructure and technology allows these high speed trains to operate so frequently with a perfect safety record. Meanwhile in the U.S.A., we just launched a "high speed train" which only goes 100mph which is way way slower than these bullet trains, and we had a derailment with casualties on day 1.
This is very close. In fact, originally back in 1964 when Shinkansen line from Tokyo to Shin-Osaka was completed, entire route was supposed to be elevated, to avoid any humans, cars, or whatever from crossing, like ordinary railways. When I watch this video, I wonder how can anyone can able to get so close to the perimeter, one scene where the flimsy wire fence is shaking even before bullet train passes. JR should have elevated this area as well as all other areas with more secure fence. Imagine some lunatic might enter through the fence and can cause havoc. It's not a laughing matter if one is hit by 320km/hr. speed!
Good points. Thanks for watching! :-)
Your video made my day bro, made my day. Thank you. Coolest shinkansen video ever
:D
4:55
LOL that’s no bullet train. That’s just Takumi delivering tofu in his AE86...
JesusChristNeverLived or Asakura in his s30z
Best comment ever
lamest youtube name ever
that's no Takumi it's just my grandma on her way to bingo, she want that new toaster
and she ain't gonna lose from Bethany again
Now THIS is pod racing!!!!
Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts. :-)
Every so often I still pull this video up. So cool how close you get to that amazing train!
Thank you for telling me that you enjoy this video. I can relive this experience in my mind as well, and it was truly amazing. I can’t wait to get back there and do more like this! Have a wonderful day :-)
@@softypapa you too can't wait to see it!
4:57 is definitely where the fun begins
thomas must be angry at this train
No confusion or delay with a Shinkansen
More like Gordon is sceard with this train
BECUSE how fast it is
but he met one and was with friends with him
Those Shinkansen trains are hella fast nothing can’t beat those trains lol 😭😭💯
Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts. I agree, the Japanese bullet trains are amazing! I’m sorry it took me so long to respond. Have a wonderful day! :-)
Kurt!!! 4:57= Ho-Le-Cow!!! Amazing video! Another great adventure! Thanks for bringing us along!!!
I really like the video!
Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts. :-)
I'm glad I found this video. I was able to answer my AP physics question
That’s awesome! I hope you get a good grade. :-)
This video can’t encapsulate how loud these are. They are probably the single loudest thing I’ve ever heard.
Great content man!! 😇😇😇😇
Thank you very much. I'm sorry to be so long in responding. I hope you are having a great day! :-)
Thank You, The experience of speed just looking at your video was Fantastic.
Thank you for sharing that you found this video. Interesting. I’m sorry it took me so long to respond. Have a good day! :-)
Very cool! I've been on the Shinkansen and though it does feel somewhat fast from inside its that smooth that it doesn't really feel that fast. If that makes sense. But this truly does give you the true perspective of how fast it's really going! Thanks for another great vid!
Our mamachari patroller located the best spot to observe Shinkansen trains. Well done!
Nice video! I love the sound of cicadas in between too
I think the strange sound in the tunnel was the air getting sucked into the tunnel. The train probably created negative pressure inside and the air rushed in behind.
I think you’re right. Thank you for watching :-)
That is so cool. When it was banking, that was when it was too close. 5 stars.
That is some speed those things are producing
that camera pan of the final train as it disappeared into the tunnel was awesome.
At 4:57 was the closest. That was amazing man. Keep up the excellent work.
Thank you for your nice comment. Have a wonderful day! :-)
That BRRRRR sound are soundwaves reverberating against the walls of the tunnel.... It's like every train that comes is like a blow into a trumpet.
Last year I went to Princeton here in New Jersey on Amtrak's Northeast Corridor. On that stretch of track, the fastest train in North America, the Acela, is able to hit 150mph/250km/h in regular service.
First time I saw it at that speed was absolutely unbelievable. And this is 30mph/50km/h faster than the Acela already is.
Mind-boggling speed here. High speed rail is just so cool.
It is amazing! And thank you for sharing about your own experience with high-speed rail. :-)
That was an OUTSTANDING collective of shots
first times the trained passed on the other track or from far away I was like "meh.. no big deal", till the 5 minute mark, that was kind of scary, you could see the barb wire move back and forth. It must be quite an experience to stand that close and feel all that mass so close to you going so fast and displacing so much air so quickly.
Kurt I still love this vid. Hope you'll be doing some vid stuff as Yumiko and you eventually will retire and go back to Japan!
Hello. Thank you for your nice comment. And yes, I plan to resume my Japan adventuring after Yumiko and I return there. And I am sorry to have been so long in responding to your comment. I hope that all is well in your world. Thank you very much for your long support of my channel. :-)
The Japanese Bullet train has never had an accident for more than 50 years！
That’s an amazing bit of statistics! Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts. :-)
That was intense man! Thanks for the clip.
AWESOME VIDEO!!!! I really wish we had the bullet trains in the USA. Id take these instead of flying.
Thank you for your nice message and support. I wish you all the best! 😊
This should have millions of viewer
Thanks man, this video was awesome. I would of done the same thing if I was there.
The Shinkansen looks nicer than the Eurostar E320 trains in my opinion.
BritishRail60062 I like the original shinkansen
Same here. Its a grand train in its own right like the original Eurostar.
Wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy nicer
Transport & Simulation Hub the eurostar 374 looks better
Japan trains are so much better than European trains
Incredible shot!
That was cool. Good job and patience to film this.
Thank you Kurt Bell! I m missing that I also did this.. You did your best .. Thanks a lot. ...
Amazing video, Kurt! I was surprised to see how fast the trains really go haha!! This video made my day a whole lot better, thank you very much.
"I came to watch the train. Oh...here it co...OH THERE IT WENT!!!!!" lol That thing MOVES!!! ;)
Thanks for watching! :-)
Five feet? You're kidding. That's amazing. ....... What's 5 feet? Asking for the entire world outside of the USA?
1.5 meters
Thank you for watching. It's about 1.5 meters like @expiredtylernol noted in their comment. I'm sorry it took me so long to respond. I hope that you have a great day. :-)
Those are some VERY busy lines! Great vid!
That's the best trainspotting ever
Oh! Thank you for such an interesting comment. I’m sorry to be so long in responding. I wish you all the best! :-)
At once rural station I literally stood on the platform 1 meter away from the Shinkansen as it races past at around 150-200 km/h. I could have reached out and touched it. It was exhilirating and pretty scary.
I like the sound it makes as it approaches, like there's a huge surge of electric current rushing down the rails, I wonder if that comes from the maglev technology. I had one instance where I came 5 inches from a passing freight train in Maine and it was intense, so I can somewhat imagine what it'd be like being next to one travelling that fast.
This should be titled, “Easily Distracted... oh look a snail.” And then let the train be a surprise!
omg that 5 minute mark, next level, thank you
So cool :) I love riding the Shinkansen!
More close up videos of high speed trains like this, please, they ar thrilling
OK! I will do it. As soon as I get back to Japan, I will make more videos like this to share. Thank you for letting me know! :-)
THAT IS AWESOME AT 4:57.
Wwowowowoow, that is so fast!
Japan is the best 🇯🇵❤️
I agree. :-)
Set up some lawn chairs and get some orange juice made and make a day of watching those. That would be fun. It is even a nice shaded spot. The train going by even shakes your bike. The metal groans under the pressure and when the vibrations hit the corrugated metal at the ends of the tunnel you get that weird noise.
+Kurt Bell That nose you heard that sounded like a motorcycle in the tunnel was an effect known Tunnel Boom.
Thanks! That was a very 'real' experience.
Thank you for posting! That was intense!
That's great footage you took, gently following length of the train as it sped by. Fantastic.
Amazing video! 👍
Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts. I really appreciate it. Sorry it took me so long to respond. Have a great day! :-)
@@softypapa don’t worry about it, I still come back to this video every once in a while, and watch the excitement. Hope you have a great day as well. :)
wow omg!!! looks amazing. I gotta come to mainland for visit and see the trains.
Kurt I love this one.... Not may people get to see "THE==BULLET==TRAIN== up close...
It was amazing mate! Great experience :D
Love the way he misses the trains
oh my! what speed!
Holy shit they go so fast, I wish we had this in America
just amazing even now hey
Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts. Have a great day! :-)
PM me the address!
This is why most bullet train railways should be build on bridges. If you try this for 350 km/h Chinese bullet trains, the air pressure thrust will push you into a risk even with fences like this.
Amazing how such a large and long hunk of metal can be projected at this speed...
wait till you find out about spacecraft
I love how your like TRAINSTRAINSTRAINSTRAINS okay lets looks at some cool rocks and abandoned farms TRAINSTRAINSTRAINSTRAINSTRAINS wow look an abandoned trail
I love it because I get to see your whole surroundings and it helps me feel everything around you
i have filmed at this location in japan it is fun to see the shinkansens fly by that close at their 400 mph top speed
no train in the world can do 400mph
Where was this that you filmed? Do you have a video to show this?
Those trains are fast!
Wow, the misterious spot and the hightech modern trains.
Although not entirely comparable there's a situation like this near where I live where the station is 2 tunnels with a grate separating the pass tracks from the regular platform, but the passers go through at 125mph at if you're leaning on the grate you can just feel all the air get suckwd through the grate as it passes.. Feels great while you're waiting for a train on a hot day!
Bro...Every minute a high speed train was passing by not in every 3 minutes. And it was very crazy of you to climb up the fence and poop out in-between Bob wires. You were lucky man not to fall down because of blast of air otherwise you could have hurted yourself. Take care...
Very cool, thank you for sharing this.
Probably one of your coolest videos, Kurt!
After watching Tohoku Shinkansen 320km / h, it seems slow.
However, this video shows realistic lot of fun and joy.
Also, this few minutes video appears overcrowded diagram. its surprising.
320 KPH! WOW! :-)
+syakugannoikamusume the peed is amazing, but I cannot help feel nostalgic about the shark nose trains.
I hope in the future, JR makes a train that embraces the latest technology and has the shark nose.
+Mark Plott Yeah my first time riding was on its shark nose. It is running in my memories by now...
Unfortunately a video doesn't give the right impression. But I can understand your feeling. Standing at the station and seeing them go by from 20 feet away is already impressive.
Next level
Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts. I’m sorry to be so long in responding. Have a wonderful day! :-)
hahaha i can relate. same thing happened to me earlier this year when i stood a little too close to the track while the amtrack was rampaging through the station XD
That was truly amazing to see just through the camera, I can only imagine how incredible it was for you! ^_^
2:02 RAAAHHHHHNNNNNN ITTSSZZZZ GODZILLA!!!!!!!!!!
It's looks like Godzilla, but for copyright is NOT!
WolfPackZGaming yeah that was some Pacific Rim shit
WolfPackZGaming It sounded more like the M.U.T.O's
WolfPackZGaming it's the air being pushed around by the train in the tunnel
No it wasnt! It was me after eating a really big bowl of chilli!
That had to be quite something to be so close to a train that can go over 300 mph. Would love to be close to a bullet train myself!
5:20 I think he dabbed
When getting the idea of climbing the fence you need to cool it don't want nothing happened to you.
Awesome video, thanks for sharing!
you should stay focused. missed few trains.
I know. He was gassing on about the trains and all he showed us was some rocks, weeds and vines. Only shot some trains from a distance and just parts could be seen.
in his defense and as someone who lived there for many years - its hard to focus when everything and anything is absolutely fascinating. you're basically tripping balls the entire time.
