If you’ve ever been to Japan, there’s a good chance you’ve taken advantage of its high-speed bullet trains, also known as Shinkansen. Shinkansen can carry passengers from Kyushu to Hokkaido at speeds of up to 320 km/h in a comfortable and quiet car, with very few delays. Learn all about these beloved trains in today’s episode, with hit songs used for Japan Rail commercials and on-board chimes. Who knows - maybe you’ll even become a Densha otaku (railfan) yourself!
