- Tokyo to Hiroshima by N700 shinkansen 'bullet train', showing the stations, trains and scenery, including Mount Fuji. For information on train travel in Japan see www.seat61.com/Japan
We used a Japan Rail Pass, which aren't valid on the direct Nozomi trains, so we took Hikari services with one easy change at Shin-Osaka. The video shows both regular seats and 'Green Car' (1st class) seats.
We continued from Hiroshima to Nagasaki by shinkansen and Limited Express Kamome, see the next video at • Hiroshima to Nagasaki ...

The itinerary I planned for our 7-day Japan Rail Pass trip around Japan worked really well, taking in Tokyo, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Himeji castle & Kyoto with a side trip to Nara - feel free to use it yourself! See it in pictures at www.seat61.com/bullet-train-across-japan.htm
At 5:05 the attendant bows to the car as she leaves. Very classy!
that's the way they roll in Japan... love the culture!
They even do it on 普通電車. It's awesome.
All trains in Japan are run this way. Peoples' attention is on the shinkansen but the 100 year-old trains run to the same kind of punctuality. The same levels of service, the same level of class. I love travelling on trains there, it's a pure delight.
Would never happen in the Uk
Yes, it really is.
And no matter if it is a 16-car shinkansen or a humble local train with 1 or 2 cars, it is run with the same precision and seriousness.
I once went on a bullet train from Kyoto to Tokyo. As a Californian, I hope the high-speed rail gets built so we can have fast travel times between San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Crosses fingers
I did a bit of train spotting in tokyo in 2013. It's like stepping 60 years into the future.
No, it's just stepping out of America

On my bucket list for later this year, I'm planning to spend my birthday in Japan as a treat to myself.
You get there with given Covid restrictions? Hope you did.
Even the sound on the train is awsome!
Japan is a country we should all look up to, respectful, friendly and efficient people
LOVELY.
SO NICE TO WATCH A VIDEO WITHOUT THE USER'S PLAY LIST DRONING ON.
that train feels like a plane... pressurised cabin, the seats, the windows, the feeling, pretty much everything.
and the food, the food was amazing
Michael Palin said that
No pressure needed at sea level
Why need to pressurise train cabin?? Does this train go up to very high mountain?
@@sc5252 It's not actually pressurised. Not needed
Did exactly this route in Aug 2019. It is a true representation of the experience in reserved class car. Loved it. Best trip ever.
Very beautiful in their country sites. I admire the Japanese culture and mutual respect. Even the women are very lovingly towards real gentlemen. Whish I could see and experience the 🌎 like this.
Decipline makes man perfect best example Japan hatsup
Excellent video summary! 👍🏼. I’m a Canadian 🇨🇦 visiting Okayama - Hiroshima and this really helped to lower my anxiety! 😨 Can’t wait to try the real thing. 🚅💺🚀Thanks!! 🙏🏻
Japan is boss man respect there hard work. Love from india
Very nice. Thank you - and for the Hiroshima coverage, as well.
Oh :( It has been 8 months since my 3 week trip to Japan. I miss travelling with the Shinkansen... I took that Sakura express like 10 times in one week
Its not just technology its the mindset and discipline in the people, this would still have people clinging to the roof if it ever came to India
Lovely place,so beautiful
Respect from China，especially in customer service aspect
Great video, concise, extremely well edited and not jerky. So glad I found this by accident, can't wait to watch more of them!
AND NO ANNOYING MUSIC DRONING ON.
I enjoyed this. Thank you for posting.
I made this journey earlier this year (2019) in April. An all around fantastic experience. I even got to go to Mt. Misen in Miyajima.
Thank you for this wonderful video..One can never forget this place.
Thank you for sharing. I’m going to Tokyo this October and I will be take a two day trip Hiroshima while there. Wanted to see how going by train looked and this helped a lot. Thank you!
I’m going in a month and have the same plan, was it worth it?
Just what I was looking for! Thank you.
How perfect. I must visit Japan and ride this train.
This was the highlight of my January 2017 visit to Japan too. Tokyo, Kyoto, and Hiroshima .
Great video thank you for uploading
Wow...! It's quieter and people don't really make alot of noise as compared to the Chinese one..Shanghai to Beijing Meglev train.
Japanese are So orderly.
I still haven't put a finger on exactly what is coming up for me to make me emotional, but I am going to Europe for the first time so was watching your vids and wanted to see if you had shinkansen trips. I lived in Japan for 9 months about 10 years ago and while it was very stressful for me at work, it was so beautiful and full of beautiful and kind people and culture. I teared up immediately watching this. 😭
Thanks for posting. Your video gives a very good impression !
Aaah, thank you so much for that footage. We travelled on the exact same Hikari (9.33) to Kyoto earlier this year, I really wish I'd taken some footage as well, but I'm more used to taking photos :( I was hoping I could hear the announcement jingle (that sounds very similar to God Save the Queen, haha), so that's my only disappointment. Still love the video and it takes me back and makes me miss Japan even more than I already do.
Thanks for uploading dear friend.
Did this line back in 2010. Most seamless travel I ever had!
Mark makes the best train videos there are.
Great video!
comprehensive report, thanks
As always Mark, you make the best train travel videos on the net
Fantástico!!!, sensacional!!!, uma maravilha de transporte!!!
Muy bueno el registro, que maravilla la tecnología Japonesa. Gracias por compartir. Saludos desde Chile.
What I found interesting was that all passengers I saw would gently how to the guard on entering the train. Some real respect those guys have...
I believe Japanese culture is far more 'deferential' in general.
1500lego I was in the U.S.Navy, I did 3 Westpac cruises, I was in Yokosuka, very clean city, so are many Japanese cities. I bowed to people in Japan myself as a show of respect. In Japan is you give you seat up on a commuter train, bus to an elderly person and a pregnant woman you are given smiles and you are a hero in their eyes. I respect the Japanese culture. School students go to school on Saturday there. My shipmates & myself we went to the Yokosuka Shakey's pizza on a Saturday for all you can eat pizza, potatoes & all the soda you can drink, we sat with Japanese high school students and we all had a great time. The high school students were very respectful, very polite & we formed friendships with them.
Christopher O'Rourke hohoh
Christopher O'Rourke lol. So they should be buddy after we nuked their asses!
@@nickmagee-brown739 how funny
Nice trip.
you are a amazing tourist
Gözəl qatardı dövlətinizi təbrik edirəm uğurlarınız bol olsun
A wonderful journey.
The world most civilized country on the planet.
The most barbaric country during war time ; ask the Chinese , English and other Asian countries which were occupied by the Japanese.
@@rext8949 still much civilized. Some chinese even after 76 years still doesn't have any polite manners 😒
@@rext8949 And that is something that many in Japan are highly ashamed of. In the 80s, my family used to have foreign language students living with us in the summer. One year we had a Japanese girl stay with us. She told us that children in school were taught to "apologise for the war".
If only IET’s and Azumas here in the uk had interiors like this.
Couldn’t make it on this trip last time I was in Tokyo but I will next time. Went to northern Japan on the Shinkansen and it was so awesome. The woman selling things was so nice and sold me as many sake as I could drink. Of course I came off the train wobbly but sobered up quickly.
Wow! Awesome!!! ;)
so i have to change the train from tokyo to hiroshima? with the jr pass
I like this...
I went from Nagoya to Tokyo return. Such brilliant trains, super fast. I have enjoyed your video. I made a picture video of my trip on my channel. Thanks for sharing 👍
Very good👍👌
Nice video!
Can u pl tell which camera u have used for shooting
Welcome to Japan!
it is a light year ahead of the US trains.
Well done.
shinkansen is so cool!
The window in the driver's coach can be opened?
wow that country is so amazing!!!
I hope to see more of the shinkansen films. Do one from Tokyo to Shin Hakodate.
Pěkné)
how many hours was it?
Спасибо! Thank! ありがとうございます。
I got the impression that you changed two trains? You only need to change once at Shin-osaka. Quality video by the way.
OMG COOL
How much was the train fare?
Very few passengers?
I travelled on a Shinkansen for the first time in September. I was impressed by the trains width and height, I believe they are bigger than any European high speed train? The trains didn't seem too new and I must admit I prefer the design of European high speed trains such as Italo o Frecciarossa. That said, it was an amazing journey.

Really looking forward to the high speed train India is planning to build with Japanese aid. If that is successful, I am sure many of such ventures will be undertaken
vandebharat is good train
Shinkansen is the safest high speed rail in history and would mean a huge leap forward for Indian Railways
Hahaha I can just imagine thousands of Indians hanging out the bullet train windows it's zooming by
@@NevG27 lol! That's Bangladesh buddy
Hope it gets build. India needs modern infrastructure if it wants to continue being the fastest growing large economy in the world.
Very nice Video ...
Smoking area, Mountain Fuji and First Class
the opening is nostalgic
Japan very beautiful trian
How expensive is it? I heard it can be quite expensive.
@Mark Smith, will you do a report on the Locomore Service between Stuttgart and Berlin?
I didn't take video that trip - though tweeted lots of pics, and now mention it on seat61.com
It doesn't exist anymore!
one day I want to travel on this train
One interedting thing, the dome of atomic bomb was built by Czech architect and one of few wasnt destroyed in epycentre of the explosion, the architect was called Jan Letzer
Hi, how much did it cost you? Did you use any Pass? Thx
does anyone know how long this train ride is
Nozomi takes about 4 hours, no changes - 894 km, Hikari takes just over 5 hours with 2 changes, same distance
How much?20000 yen?
They even have smoking area! Unbelievable for high speed train.
great video . what is the name of your Camera ? thank you
Bob
It's a shame you did not cover or try the Ekiben (lunch boxes) sold at the stations. The presentation is immaculate, the choices plenty, reasonably priced and tasty. I had to check out your Shinkansen video after seeing the food on the HKG PEK route which looks a little sorry.
The food courts at each station do sell a myriad of food & drink which you can bring on board a Shinkansen. Ekiben, bento, sandwiches, salads, you name it. You can even drink beer (but only for quiet drinking, getting drunk will get you in serious trouble!)
El viaje de Hiroshima a Tokio en en un tren con o sin escalas
Do they have to change train at shin Osaka station?
Nozomi trains run direct. But Japan Rail Pass holders cannot use Nozomis, only the next-fastest stopping pattern services called Hikari, and that means changing at Osaka.
Are you on Facebook or Twitter or any else..
Hope you go on the Trans Siberian Railroad.
I have experience this train in Japan . Asoka Fonseka
Like
Tokyo to hiroshima now😁
Tokyo to Hiroshima then 🗿
This is the type of high speed rail currently planned between DFW and Houston, TX. High speed rail is also needed between DFW and Austin/San Antonio, TX, as well. Sadly, the government bureaucrats have no interest in developing this much needed alternate mode of transportation between these cities.
what is the shinkansen's top speed?
300km/h (186mph) on the Tokaido & Sanyo shinkansen
Are these trains safe ?
@Mark Smith Tokyo station si supposed to be the "best" in the world, and the most used daily one. Why the hell isn't there a Shinskansen from Tokyo to Hiroshima? I mean, you had to take another train in Shin-Osaka.
Tokyo - to Hiroshima Class.
Definitely on my bucket list. Incidentally, do the staff only bow to first class passengers? :-)
Wagon stuffs and train attendants make a light bow when enter and leave every cars, both first and standard class of Shinkansen and express trains.
lots of similarity among Japan and China in terms of train corridor. Japan is more developed in the details where China needs to catch up to. But am very proud of China of today. Tomorrow it will be even more amazing.
looks japan's rural regions somehow developed than china, although the stations and city-level looks similar or china looks a bit new....
How fast do those trains go? Also, how easy is it for someone who doesn't speak Japanese to get around Japan?
Just watch the video - everything is in English as well as Japanese, and very well organised.
I didn't see any indication of speed on the video though and I was referring to the country more generally.

I'm glad U. S.and European intercity trains don't have 3+2 seating and small airplane windows. I also want a cafe car rather than a rolling food and beverage cart blocking the aisles. Japan has an excellent passenger rail system but cabins on high speed trains look cramped and claustrophobic. Thanks for the video which convinced me to travel first class in Japan.
3+2 seating is common across asia actually because of more passenger density due to higher populations, a cafe car would be great in longer distance trains which they do have but shorter distance trains often are designed to make full use of their rakes to cater to high demand of seats. That's why you'll find trains usually packed.
TGVの方が、遥かに快適
@@shotaro1321 The average American is overweight.
I've been on the shinkansen many times, and the windows never struck me as small, let alone comparably small to airplane windows. The seats are wide, and have a luxurious amount of legroom that makes it easy to walk past your seat neighbors, even in coach.
