Taking the Shinkansen (新幹線) means a quick ride, but don’t fall asleep or you might not see Mount Fuji (富士山). By the way it's Fujisan and not Fujiyama. The Shinkansen or Bullet Train is very fast, GPS measured 240 km/h, and maybe sometimes this train might even speed up more.
That's how the train looks like arriving at the station, when the loud-speaker urges you to immediately step back
That's how the station looks like - quite clean. I guess
the hygienic standard is so high that you can use
the station for open heart surgery
Downstairs at the station - close to being an operation chamber!

That's how the Railway sees it

I went from Kyoto (京都) to Tokyo (東京), changed there for Utsunomiya (宇都宮). I did not care to go further, as Fukushima (福島) lies two stations ahead.
