	Shinkansen - Simple English Wikipedia
		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.
		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.

	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.
		The next candidate is the 59km of the Nagano Shinkansen from Nagano to Joetsu, with plans existing to eventually extend this to Komatsu via Toyama and Kanazawa.

		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.

		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.

		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.
