Japanese MAGLEV Experience - The FASTEST Train in the WORLD at 500km+ per hour! | Yamanashi, Japan

My trip to Japan in January of 2019 was one of the coolest adventures I’ve ever been on. I got to spend twelve incredible days exploring the cities of Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka, as well as three of the prefectures, or states, around Tokyo. During that time, I got to see amazing attractions, visit beautiful Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines, and eat some of the most phenomenal food I’ve ever had in my life! I’m excited to share my Japanese adventures with you!

My day in the Yamanashi Prefecture began at the Maglev Exhibition Hall, an incredible center that is dedicated to educating people about the Maglev, which is the fastest train in the world and travels at speeds up to 500km per hour, which is double the speed of the Shinkansen bullet train! When the Maglev line between Tokyo and Osaka opens in 2027, a ride between the two cities will only take 67 minutes even though they’re 313 miles apart!

This train is so cool! From the center’s windows, we could watch Maglev trains speed by in the blink of an eye. They are insanely fast!

We also explored a life-sized model of a Maglev train. They’re so futuristic on the inside they look like a spaceship! It’s a very thin train, with a 2-2 seating arrangement in Economy Class, whereas the Shinkansen bullet trains are 3-2 seaters. The word “Maglev” is an abbreviation of “magnetic levitation,” which describes how the train levitates over its track. Because the train essentially floats, it has to be lightweight, which is why there aren’t as many seats inside.

After I tried (and failed) at getting a good stamp as a souvenir, I visited the Maglev Theatre, which shows a video explaining the advancements in train technology, as well as a simulation that recreates how it feels to ride a Maglev train. I couldn’t film inside, but it shakes and moves and is pretty crazy!

There’s also a diorama, or model, of a Maglev station, and a little car that you can ride in that uses magnetic levitation. It’s so cool! You really feel like you’re floating! There’s also an interactive exhibit where you crank a wheel as fast as you can to get the little train inside to float!

Afterward, I visited the gift shop, where I bought a toy Maglev train for my daughter. They also sell wines, chopsticks, pillows, socks, juices, shampoo, and more!

Then it was time for my next stop, which was the Fuji-Q Highland, an amusement in the town of Fujiyoshida, which is known for its extreme roller coasters, some of which have held world records for the fastest in the world and the steepest drop in the world! From the park, you have an amazing view of Mount Fuji!

The amusement park is huge! There are so many rides, including the roller coasters, as well as the most rotated ride in the world and others such as ferris wheels, carousels, and more.

I was a little scared to ride the roller coaster with the steepest drop in the world! I had to take everything off, take everything out of my pockets, and tape my camera to my arm! The ride was so intense and fast! I’m glad I decided to stow away my camera at the last minute! My new friend Haley from Girls Love Travel didn’t think it was scary, but I was a little scared!

The next roller coaster has the fastest acceleration in the world. Haley was ready, but it was so scary! I was a little dizzy afterward! After that was one that has 14 different loops. It rotates as it goes down the track. They even make you take your shoes off before you get on it because your legs hang off the seat as you ride. It was so amazing! It was exhilarating and my favorite ride of all-time!

Our final ride was the ferris wheel, which we rode at twilight to get some epic views of the park and Mount Fuji. From there, we could see people ice skating. The view was absolutely gorgeous!

Then it was time for a snack! I went with the Samurai Mochi, which has a lot of powder on it. I had it on the bus ride back. It’s a rectangular mochi that comes with a black sugar sauce. Trying it on the bus was a bad idea; I got it all over me!

I hope you enjoyed coming with me to the Maglev Exhibition Hall and Fuji-Q Highland Amusement Park! If you did, please give this video a thumbs up, leave me a comment below, and subscribe to my channel so you don’t miss out on any of my upcoming food and travel content!

It’s been less than 100 years since Hitachi built its first domestic locomotive in Japan (they were using British ones) and now they constructed a train if you can call it that in a traditional sense that can do 372MPH.

Everyone hyping over Hyperloop but Japanese Maglev is where it's at, they've already proven they can run high speed trains safely and punctually with no passenger fatalities since 1964, and this new test track with actual repeatable high speeds.
Which is the better investment of time and money? I'd pick the Maglev, they know what they're doing and can deliver.

Wow, the Maglev is basically the Concorde of trains.

When Japan & China talks about Maglev, here (Indonesia) still talks about Bullet Train. Keep going Japan!

Honestly I'll be surprised if the thing actually starts workin in 2027, but then again, people thought the idea of the Shikansen was madness but look at it today. It helped to spur high speed rail as we know it today with the TGV, ICE, EuroStar, Acela, etc.

Fujikyu Highland is an amusement park I like too.
Japan is an interesting country where new and old things coexist.
It would be nice if the day to get on the linear motor car should come soon.Thank you very much for your wonderful video.

The bullet train now is $330RT from Tokyo to Osaka. The new bullet train will likely be double. Might as well fly first class.

My 4 year old son has watched this video about 50 times! He's obsessed with the Japan Maglev and wants to go to Japan to go on it but we keep telling him he has to wait until at least 2027!!

America may spend a shit load of money on its military. But I'm a tech geek. Asia is like 30 years ahead of us in the tech world.

Smaller capacity compared conventional steel-rail Shinkansens, but the increase in frequency will more than likely compensate for it.

Will the construction be completed in 2027?

I really hope prof. Eric Laithwaite could see where his invention has brought us

Japan may have to start build one above 600 kmph to become the fastest!

Les japonais sont bien plus avancé technologiquement que nous, la conception de leurs train, le maglev le montre
