Shinkansen Bullet Train Unboxing Live | Kato | #askHearns

Marlin shows Nic and BJ the Kato N700A Nozomi train set in N scale.

Nozomi (のぞみ, "Wish" or "Hope") is the fastest train service running on the Tōkaidō & San'yō Shinkansen lines in Japan. The service stops at only the largest stations, and along the stretch between Shin-Ōsaka and Hakata, Nozomi services using N700 series equipment reach speeds of 300 km/h (186 mph). The trip between Tokyo and Osaka, a distance of 515 kilometres (320 mi), takes 2 hours 21 minutes on the fastest Nozomi service.

The trains stop at fewer stations than the Hikari and Kodama trains. On the Tōkaidō Shinkansen between Tokyo and Shin-Ōsaka, Nozomi trains stop only at Shinagawa, Shin-Yokohama, Nagoya and Kyōto. On the Sanyō Shinkansen between Shin-Ōsaka and Hakata, all Nozomi trains stop at Shin-Kobe, Okayama, Hiroshima and Kokura, with certain trains also stopping at additional stations.
