		Shinkansen: The New Way To Ride That Wi-Fi Cloud The concept to offer Wi-Fi service to train commuters has recently been announced by the Central Japan Railway, or JR Tokai, the operators of the Shinkansen that connects the cities of Tokyo and Osaka.
		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).

	Shinkansen (Japanese Bullet Train)
		The Tokaido Shinkansen, connecting Tokyo, Nagoya, Kyoto and Osaka, was inaugurated in the year 1964 as the first shinkansen line and the world's first high speed train.
		The southern half of the Kyushu Shinkansen, connecting Yatsushiro with Kagoshima, was inaugurated in March 2004.
		Currently under construction are the further extension of the Tohoku Shinkansen to Aomori and the extension of the Nagano Shinkansen to Kanazawa.

		The name Shinkansen literally means "New Trunk Line", and thus should technically refer to the lines and not the trains, which are officially referred to as "Super Expresses".
		The prefix 'shin' means 'new' in Japanese and oftentimes when building the Shinkansen network, it was not feasible to build it to the already existing station, therefore a second station was built with the 'shin prefix'.
		Shinkansen trains now run regularly at speeds of up to 300 km/h, putting them among the fastest trains running in the world, along with the French TGV and German ICE trains.

		Shinkansen is famous for its high speed; actually it is not only fast, but very convenient and efficient.
		Its scenery may be rather dull because everytime Shinkansen line comes to mountainous areas or even small hills, it goes straight into a long long tunnel to avoid curving, which is the obstacle to its high speed.
		You may often have to change Shinkansen to a limited express at the junction if you extend your journey off the beaten track, although schedule is generally well organized and you have only to wait for several minutes at the connections.

	Routes and Services
		The Sanyo Shinkansen was opened as far as Okayama in March 1972, and the entire 554 km from Shin-Osaka to Hakata (Fukuoka) was opened in January 1975 with the completion of the 18.7 km Shin-Kanmon Tunnel linking Honshu (Japan's main island) to Kyushu.
		The start of through shinkansen services from Tokyo to Akita in March 1997 created Yamabiko/Komachi services formed of 8-car E2' series units running in conjunction with E3 series units between Tokyo and Morioka, although the Komachi services now operate in conjunction with the new Hayate services.
		This was the name for the former all-stations shinkansen services between Tokyo and Niigata, which was discontinued in October 1997 when services were integrated with Asahi and the new Tanigawa services.

	Tōhoku Shinkansen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tōhoku Shinkansen (東北新幹線) is a high-speed rail line, connecting Tokyo with Hachinohe in Aomori Prefecture for a total length of 593 km, Japan's longest Shinkansen line.
		From Aomori, construction is underway to continue the line under the name Hokkaido Shinkansen, passing through the world's longest railway tunnel, the Seikan Tunnel to Shin-Hakodate on Hokkaido, and eventually all the way to Sapporo.
		Through trains on the Akita Shinkansen and Yamagata Shinkansen lines also run on Tōhoku Shinkansen tracks from Morioka and Fukushima respectively.

		The Shinkansen are bullet trains, averaging somewhere between 200 and 250 km/h, connecting Tokyo and Kyoto, for instance, in about three hours.
		Like all JR trains, the Shinkansen have snack and gift carts, and extremely clean restrooms with separate wash rooms; unique to the Shinkansen are in-train telephones.
		Each Shinkansen has its own name; for instance, between Tokyo and Hachinohe we took the Shinkansen Hayate (in English, “Whirlwind”), which is a pretty neat name for a bullet train.

	Hachinohe travel guide - Wikitravel
		Hachinohe (八戸) [1], a mid sized city in Aomori, is the current terminus of the Tohoku Shinkansen line and mainly a train hub for most travellers.
		Hayate trains from Tokyo reach Hachinohe in three hours and cost ¥15350 each way, so it might be wise to get a rail pass of some kind before making the journey.
		Beware that the Hayate trains are coupled to Akita-bound Komachi trains, which split at Morioka, so be sure you're in the right train and car when boarding.

		The "Hayate" superexpress, which link between Tokyo and Hachinohe over the stretch of Tohoku Shinkansen inaugurated on 1 December, uses Series E2-1000 emu fleet.
		It is a pity that the maximum speed on the Tohoku Shinkansen has not reached 300km/h, but JR East is said to be doing the research and development of 360km/h operation, in the view that Tohoku Shinkansen will be extended further north.
		For a person like me who know what JR East was some years ago, this is a move that rather surprises me; anyway I am expecting the outcome of their development in the near future...

		It's just been on the news that the Shinkansen extension to Aomori is scheduled to open in Heisei 24 (in the Japanese system of years)- so, in ten years' time, which is three years later than I seem to remember reading.
		Anyway, the new stretch of line, from Morioka, is the first extension of the Tohoku Shinkansen to the north in 20 years, since the section to Morioka opened in 1982.
		An interesting point is that with the opening of this new Shinkansen, JR has been forced to give up the part of the Tohoku Honsen that runs parallel to the new line.

		Indeed, the image of a shinkansen passing in front of Mount Fuji is probably one of the best known and most used images of Japan.
		Indeed, it is for this reason that in the photographs taken to commemorate the start of construction of the shinkansen, it is possible to see a well formed tunnel entrance in the background.
		In 1964, the shinkansen cut this time to just 4 hours, which was further reduced to 3 hours 10 minutes the following year (once the track had properly settled and further training had taken place).

	Ministry denies ordering Japan bullet trains
		Japan's Kyodo News Agency reported on Monday that China is moving closer to placing an order with a Japanese consortium for 60 high-speed trains for a new railway system after doing the same with a German group earlier this month.
		The Japanese high-speed trains will be modelled after East Japan Railway Co's "Hayate" Shinkansen trains, and their orders will be placed with the six-company group, including Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd, the Japanese news agency quoted an anonymous industry source as saying.
		China is preparing for the construction of 2,000 kilometres of high-speed rails by 2020, and competition for the projects is becoming increasingly fierce among Japan's Shinkansen, France's TGV and Germany's ICE trains with the most advanced high-speed rail technology available in the world.

		China is preparing for the construction of 2,000 kilometers of high-speed railway by 2020, and the competition over which high-speed rail technology will become the primary one used for the network is becoming increasingly fierce.
		The deal would bring the total order to 120 bullet trains, known as shinkansen in Japan, for the six firms, which include Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd, Itochu Corporation, and Hitachi Ltd, once orders from last year are included.
		The vehicles to be delivered will be based on the Hayate, a model operated by East Japan Railway Co on the Tohoku line.

		May I introduce you to 'Hayate', a Japanese luchador who takes his name from the speedy bullet train that travels between Tokyo and Hachinohe stations.
		While a train might be an unlikely choice for a wrestling gimmick, it seems like at least two other grapplers think that it's a good idea.
		While I won't be in Japan long enough to take a ride on one of these bad boys, I will get my chance to ride the real fastest train in the world when I visit Shanghai in a few weeks.

	Aomori travel guide - Wikitravel
		From Tokyo, the fastest method of reaching Aomori is by taking the Tohoku Shinkansen Hayate (はやて) train to Hachinohe, then transfer to a limited express train for the run to Aomori.
		Connections in Hachinohe are excellent, but at a price of about ¥17000, it makes sense to purchase a Japan Rail Pass or a JR East Pass beforehand.
		When opened, the speed of the Hayate will be increased from the present 275 km/h (170 mph) to an all-time high speed of 360 km/h (225 mph) using brand new trains.

		Although we will both have Rail Passes I have just learnt that there are only reserved seats on the hayate shinkansen.
		But I think, your chances are good that you can make a seat reservation for the hayate once you arrive at Narita Airport.
