Maybe I have to get back to Jpan in 2011 to try it Lived in Japan from 1993 to 1997 and have visited Japan on many occasions since as well. Have been on every Shinkansen up to the 700 series. My work took me everywhere, so, nice to ride the trains as my ex-firms expense. Last time that I was in Japan was in February, 2008, and saw the prototype N700 at Tokyo station. Amazing technology. Just read where all the 400 series have been scrapped ( Tsubasa). Went on those to Yamagata a few times. Fantastic trip, in winter with the snow so deep. I am in Australia, and we talk about HSR, but, it will never happen. Too big a country, and too few people to use the service. Thats’s an interesting train.

Hopefully, N700-I Bullet (330km/h) will be an international success.

E5 is based on Fastech 360. [japan] N700 is really comfortable on the Tokaido Shinkansen. Hopefully, N700-I Bullet (330km/h) will be an international success.
