When building the Shinkansen network, it was not often feasible to build the line to connect to an already existing station and therefore a new second station was built.
In contrast to the older lines, Shinkansen lines are standard gauge, and use tunnels and viaducts to go through and over obstacles, rather than around them.
Shinkansen trains now run regularly at speeds of up to 300 km/h (185 mph), putting them among the fastest trains running in the world, along with the French TGV, Spanish AVE and German ICE trains.

Shinkansen 300 Series passing through Maibara Station, April 2002
Most Hikari services use 300 Series Shinkansen trains, although the new Hikari Rail Star service uses the 700 Series Shinkansen.
When the Shinkansen opened in 1964, Hikari was the fastest train on the line, travelling from Tokyo Station to Shin-Osaka Station with only two stops (Nagoya and Kyoto).

 300 Series Shinkansen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 300 Series Shinkansen high-speed trainsets for Japan's Shinkansen dedicated high-speed railways were introduced in 1992 on the Tokaido and Sanyo Shinkansen lines for use on the fastest Nozomi services, being capable of 270 km/h (168 mph).
As more were delivered (66 trains by 1998) they replaced earlier units on Hikari service and allowed the thus displaced 100 Series units to finally in turn displace 0 Series units on almost all services.
Technically, they are notable for being the first Shinkansen sets to employ three-phase AC traction motors instead of direct current units.

The Series 700 Shinkansen train developed jointly by JR Central and JR West, as well as JR West's Series 500, are further developments of the Series 300.
More than 50% of the trains on the Tokaido Shinkansen are already capable of operating at 270km/h, and the remaining old trains are scheduled to be replaced by the Series 700 as soon as possible.
While the policy for unified operations with the Tokaido Shinkansen has already been confirmed by the government, the scheme to achieve profitability of the privatised JR Central is an important issue for the future.

 Series 100 bullet train to be withdrawn from Tokaido Shinkansen services
It seems to me only a while since Series 0 was withdrawn from Tokaido Shinkansen, but now the second generation Series 100 bullet train fleet is to be withdrawn.
Many of the interior features were inherited into the newer trains such as Series 300, which means Series 100 set the "standard" of the new Shinkansen services (although the double-deckers with dining cars and compartments will be abandoned).
A sad thing is that Series 300 and Series 700, which now dominates Tokaido Shinkansen, are not capable of 300km/h.

Due to the speed at which the shinkansen travels, it has been necessary for research to be conducted on making the system as safe as reasonably possible.
The shinkansen is protected to some extent by a detection system that uses the primary waves given off by an earthquake, allowing trains to begin slowing down before the main, powerful, secondary wave strikes.
This was an area where the shinkansen was expected to have a positive impact and was the basis for much of the expansion of the network.
