	Kodama (Shinkansen) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kodama shinkansen are the "slowest" of the train services running on the Tokaido/Sanyo Shinkansen.
		The Kodama trains are used primarily for stop-offs between major cities and small cities such as Tokyo to Atami [although other shinkansen services may also access these cities].
		The trains following Kodama routes are historically the slower and older ones, including the original 0 Series trains.

	Shinkansen - Simple English Wikipedia
		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 and German ICE trains.
		The Shinkansen are run by the many companies of Japan Railway (which in the past was called Japanese National Railways, but now is one group of private companies).
		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.

	math lessons - 0 Series Shinkansen
		The 0 Series 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.
		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.
		Unlike previous Japanese trains, the Tokaido Shinkansen and all subsequent Shinkansen were standard gauge (4'8½", 1,435 mm between the rails).

	100 Series Shinkansen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Now being taken off first line service, 100 series sets are being reformed into smaller 4 and 6 car sets for the slower Kodama services in the Sanyo Sinkansen line, to replace the last 0 series trains.
		The 100 Series 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produced between 1984 and 1991 for the Tokaido Shinkansen and Sanyo Shinkansen lines; the earliest units have now been withdrawn from service, and the series has been retired from the Tokaido Shinkansen line in September 2003.

		The first Shinkansen line was opened as early as 1964, now it is referred to as Tokaido and Sanyo Shinkansen.

		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.
		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.

	Japan Lite- Amy Chavez
		The name "Kodama" means "echo," perhaps because of the repetition of the stops, every couple of minutes.
		Then there is the "joshaken," which comes as a part of a set of two tickets, so every time you buy a shinkansen ticket, you get two tickets even if you're only going to one place.

		There are three different shinkansen involved on this line: Nozomi, Hikari, and Kodama.

	Trends in Japan
		A ride on the Shinkansen in itself once used to be a treat, but as the novelty has worn off, the trains are undergoing a face lift to accommodate practical, business needs.
		Until recently, only four Shinkansen trains equipped with dining cars were making the daily journey from Tokyo to Hakata and back--the double-decker Grand Hikari models.
		Central Japan Railway Co., which operates the Tokaido Shinkansen line, ceased running dining cars in 1998, and East Japan Railway Co. has never operated dining cars on its Tohoku, Joetsu, and Nagano Shinkansen routes.
