Today my class and I rode on the bullet train to Nagoya city from Kyoto. A bullet train is basically a group of high speed railway lines. I have never been on a bullet train before today therefore ,I was extremely anxious and excited. The bullet trains are all operated by the Japan Railways, here in Japan they are called shinkansen. Hikari is the train that we took today, it took us about thirty minutes to reach Nagoya. The Hikari train also goes to Tokyo and Osaka. The train ride experience was fantastic, inside the train was very spacious for a train. Food and drinks were available for purchase. The train ride was smooth and quiet. The bullet trains go as fast as three hundred kilometers per hour.
Inside the train there were snack vending machines that included drinks and foods. They also have a person that sells coffee and snack on the train.
What surprised me the most is the bathrooms, they had a Western style bathroom as well as the Japanese style bathroom. The Western style bathroom is a toilet seat, and the Japanese style bathroom is a toilet built on the ground.
My experience on the train today was amazing, I got to see cities that we passed by that were truly heaven, they were very green, very bright and beautiful mountains that stood very high and proud. Japan has beautiful nature sites and the weather is truly amazing and it works perfectly with its nature.
If you ever come to Japan, make it a note to ride the bullet train at least once, it is an experience you would not want to miss and the memory of it lasts a life time.
