More Trains

We've talked about the trains of China before, so it is only fair to give some time to the trains of Japan.  The photo above shows a Shinkansen train, one of their famous "bullet-trains".  They run at speeds up to 300 kilometers/hour, which is roughly the same as the Chinese fast trains.  For travel in an island the size of Japan, the bullet-train is more confortable, more convenient, and often faster than going by air.
