		The bullet train or Shinkansen (新幹線) is a network of high speed rail lines in Japan, upon which the famous "Bullet Trains" run.
		In contrast to the existing lines, the 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 kph, putting them among the fastest trains running in the world, along with the French TGV and German ICE trains.

	Shinkansen
		The name "Bullet Train" is actually a Western invention, originating from the bullet-nosed appearance of the original trains.
		The name Shinkansen literally means "New Trunk Line", and thus technically should refer to the lines and not the trains, which are officially referred to as "Super Expresses".
		The prefix is used to distinguish the railway station serving Shinkansen trains in towns where it is in a different location to the regular station, as in Shin-Osaka station.

		Travel is restricted to JR rapid and local trains (that is, Shinkansen and limited express trains are not included in the pass) and unreserved seating.

		COSMOS (Computerized Safety, Maintenance and Operation systems of Shinkansen) was developed as a new total system for the Shinkansen operation.
		In addition, the suitability of command support functions and the man-machine interface were investigated, resulting in a reduction in the dispatcher work load and elimination of the central information display board used in the conventional control room.
		The functions of this next-generation Shinkansen operation management system are expected to be complete when the system is introduced into the Akita Shinkansen Line, and the rolling stock depot work management system is complete on the Hokuriku Shinkansen Line and at the shunting depots.
