		Shinkansen 500 Series and 700 Series with Mt. Fuji
		The 0(zero)-Series (0系) Shinkansen were the first trainsets built to run on Japan's new high speed rail network, and are therefore still the image of the Shinkansen in the minds of most non-Japanese because of all the publicity they received when the first Shinkansen line began operation in 1964.
		The 100 Series (100系) Shinkansen were the second generation Shinkansen design, produced between 1984 and 1991 for the Tokaido-Shinkansen and Sanyo- Shinkansen lines; the earliest units have now been withdrawn from service, and the series has been retired from the Tokaido Shinkansen line in September 2003.

	700 Series Shinkansen
		The 700 Series Shinkansen trainsets for Japan's Shinkansen dedicated high-speed rail lines were built between 1997 and 2003, entering service in 1999.
		The design goal was to produce a train almost as fast as the 500 Series Shinkansen but at a substantially lower cost.
		Unlike the 500 series the 700 series is not a thing of beauty, with a fat, bulbous 'duck-bill' nose.

	Shinkansen Information
		The "Shinkansen" name was first formally used in 1940 for a proposed standard gauge passenger/freight line between Tokyo and Shimonoseki, using steam and electric locomotives with a top speed of 200 km/h (twice the speed of the fastest Japanese train at the time).
		The first Shinkansen trains ran at speeds of up to 200 km/h (125 mph), later increased to 220 km/h (135 mph); some of these trains, with their classic bullet-nosed appearance, are still in use.
		Shinkansen trains now run regularly at speeds of up to 300 km/h (186 mph), putting them among the fastest trains running in the world, along with the French TGV, Italian TAV, Spanish AVE, German ICE, and South Korean KTX trains.

	Shinkansen types - 500 series
		Passenger accommodation is in the standard layout of 2+2 seating in green class, and 2+3 in standard class [see photo].
		Standard class seat pitch is reduced to 1020 mm compared with 1040 mm on the 300 series to maintain the same overall seating capacity.
		With the announcement in May 2006 that all Tokaido/Sanyo Shinkansen through-running Nozomi services are to be operated by N700 series trains by 2009, it is expected that the role of the 500 series trains will be limited to Sanyo Shinkansen service only.

	Shinkansen Bullet Train :: Japan Visitor
		The success of the shinkansen, which became known as the 'bullet train' worldwide, due to its speed as well as a resurrection of the terminology of its war time ancestor, meant that countries such as France also began to look to the potential of railways to solve their transportation problems.
		Although there are faster trains in the world, the slick silver-coloured 500-series shinkansen was for many years considered the fastest train in the world, as its average speed between two station stops on a normal journey was the highest.
		The Yamagata and Akita Shinkansen lines are not full shinkansen lines for some sections — so the trains are narrower and travel at lower speeds once off the main line — however, it does avoid the need to change trains on to a narrower, conventional train as occurred in the past.

		This train is the 500-Series Shinkansen, operated by JR West and known for futuristic design and characteristic long "nose" on the front of the train.
		The Shinkansen enables us to move comfortably and quietly at 300 km/h, but you will no doubt be surprised to learn that a bird inspired Shinkansen technology.
		Noise standards for the Shinkansen are one of the worlds strictest for railway operation, so we cannot run the train without solving this noise issue.

	Railway Technology - Shinkansen High Speed 'Bullet Train' operated by JR Central, Japan
		Shinkansen run largely on conventional steel rail mounted on concrete sleepers, but the fastest services use dedicated tracks to avoid conflict with slower trains.
		Shinkansen trains run on two different gauges - 1,067mm and 1,435mm - which precludes each part of the system from using the other's trains.
		Information systems on newer variants of Shinkansen trains are proving much more reliable than previously, thanks to their use of much shorter cable lengths.

	Japan Atlas: The 500 Series Bullet Trains
		The 500 Series {Shinkansen}, the latest version of the bullet trains developed by West Japan Railway Company, started services with one round trip a day between Shin-osaka and Hakata in March 1997.
		In November that year, the operation was expanded to a practical level: the service distance was extended to connect between Tokyo and Hakata and the number of runs was increased.
		The 500 Series has attained the world's fastest operating speed of 300 km/h (186 mph), which equals the TGV of France, and it travels between Tokyo and Hakata in four hours and fifty minutes, 15 minutes shorter than the previous 300 Series does.

	Shinkansen Bogies
		Because shinkansen run at high speeds, their bogies and carriages must not be subjected to serious lateral vibrations, called hunting.
		The pioneer Series 0 shinkansen was improved with the introduction of the Series 100 that began operations on the Tokaido and Sanyo shinkansen in 1985, and Series 200 on the Tohoku and Joetsu shinkansen in 1982.
		For example, in 1997, JR West adopted this bogie technology for its Series 500 shinkansen that were designed to reduce aerodynamic noise and achieve a maximum operating speed of 300 km/h, thereby bringing Japan into the age of rail travel at 270–300 km/h.

		Many innovations and improvements have been made since the first Shinkansen trains, the 0-series Hikari and the Kodama trains, were unveiled.
		In 1992 came the 300-series trains, whose bodies were made with a lightweight aluminum alloy that enabled them to reach speeds of up to 270 kilometers per hour.
		This series was used for some of the Nozomi (meaning hope) trains that can cover the distance between Tokyo and Osaka in two and a half hours.

	800 Series Shinkansen Information
		The 800 Series Shinkansen train was developed by Hitachi for use on the Kyushu Shinkansen high-speed rail line in Japan.
		The 800 series is slightly slower than its predecessors, the 500 Series Shinkansen and 700 Series Shinkansen: it will only reach a maximum speed of 260 km/h (160 mph) in service, although its design speed is up to 285 km/h (180 mph).
		It abandons the 700's unpopular "duckbill" nose in favor of a sharper nose more remniscient of the 300 series.

	SHINKANSEN 0 SERIES
		The 0 Series Shinkansen were the first train sets built to run on Japan's new high speed rail network, and are therefore still the image of the Shinkansen in the minds of most non-Japanese because of all the publicity they received when the first Shinkansen line began operation in 1964.
		The 0 series (which were not originally so classed; there was no need to distinguish classes of train set until later) entered service with the start of Tokaido Shinkansen operations in 1964.
		Existence as a Shinkansen train is tough; though most rail equipment has a service life of thirty or more years, Shinkansen sets are tired after fifteen, and they are generally removed from service after that point.

		Mt.Fuji is one of the most common images of Japan, and a sight that we wanted to see in person.
		The next day we travelled to the town of Hakone, about 40 minutes away from Tokyo by Shinkansen, from where a route well-travelled by Japanese every day of the year is supposed to provide excellent views of the mountain.
