I didn't skip because I feared that train might arrive and pass within those skipped 10 seconds 😂

Did a simple bit of maths. This is an E5 series Shinkansen. It is 253 Meters (830 feet) in length, and in this clip took roughly 3 seconds to travel its length. Dividing distance by time gives speed. So based on a train length of 253m passing in 3 seconds we do 253/3, which gives us ~84.3m/s. In everyday speed units that's 188.9mph or 304km/h

These trains are unbelievable. When visiting back in 2011 we took one from Tokyo to Kyoto. It felt like you were floating across the plains and countryside. A very strange feeling.

Everyone is impressed by the train while I’m more impressed with the PA system. Even though I don’t understand Japanese, it sounds so loud and clear. Much better than the ones you hear in US.

The PA system is loud and clear, and the lady's voice is calming. Makes going to the train station a more pleasant experience. Ironically, it would also work really well in a creepy dystopian video game.

Could you imagine being the old women knowing you lived in a time without bullet trains all the way to a time with them. So fascinating.

These trains are incredibly safe and fast. Since their operation began in 1960, there have been 0 Shinkansen related deaths.

"Attention all. This is a non stopping train. Thank you"

Even in porn clips you don't have to wait this long for the money shot.

I lived in Japan for a few years and the meticulous attention to detail they apply to everything is something to behold, these trains are absolutely immaculate at all times with not one bit of graffiti or rubbish to be found...the only place I have enjoyed using public transport

First time I was at a Shinkansen station, I saw one of these trains and commented to my wife, “These look fast standing still.” What a joy to ride on them.

Japan’s railroad companies have technology to run Shinkansen faster, but Japan imposes strict safety standards to them (Japanese very worry about safety), so it is more difficult for Shinkansen to increase the maximum operating speed compared to other high speed trains in the world.
Also, Noise Regulation Act for Shinkansen prevent them from increasing speed, because residential areas are near railroad tracks in Japan!
They also have to take more preparations for frequent earthquakes in Japan.
Even so, Shinkansen has been increasing speed, considering safety.
(For 55 years, no passenger has killed in accidents since opening in 1964.)

Such a nice train station. So modern. So clean. I love the waist-high gate- partition that are there to protect waiting passengers from falling into the tracks. I think they're supposed to automatically unlock and slide out of the way when the train pulls into the station.
