I may have had a romantic experience with the Narita Express but the Shinkansen has had been captivated for years and while in Japan I clocked up a lot of miles going between Tokyo, Nagoya, Kyoto and Osaka on theTōkaidō Shinkansen as I made good use of my 21 day Japan Rail Pass which after being lost was mercifully returned to me by Buddha. Like a true train geek I also took every opportunity to take photos of the bullet trains and while I only managed to get photos of the 700 and N700 series that was more than enough to keep me giddy with excitement. So whether are also crazy about the Shinkansen, a fan of Japan or just want to see something cool, I hope you can appreciate the photos below. Also remember I enjoy receiving your comments and feedback so leave one below!
