It's not often when you think of a country  you instantly think of the trains

情態副詞

and yet say the word Japan and that is exactly what comes to mind

基礎被動語態

Since the bullet train was first introduced in

1964 it quickly stole the world's imagination and perch a pan on the map as a technological innovator

With a top speed of 200 miles per hour, until today

they've not only carried 10 billion passengers, but remarkably in over 50 years of service there's not yet

been a single passenger fatality or injury G to a train accident.

The Japanese word for bullet train is "Shinkansen"

Which literally translates as "new trunk line" a reference to the railway tracks upon which they travel

bullet trains come in three classes: ordinary, "economy class"

Which is already pretty spacious and luxurious by the standards of most trains

followed by "green class" effectively business class with larger reclining seats

a true first-class option has been introduced called "grand class"

complete with cabin attendants and excitement.

Today Riotaro and I have been invited by JR East the company that owns the bullet trains

to try grand class for the first time ourselves with rare access to film inside the cabin.

We'll also be giving budget travel tips riding the trains on a budget

So hopefully by the end of this video you'll be an expert on all things bullet train

But our journey today starts in the city of Morioka,

a two-hour ride north of Tokyo and one of the only spots you can

watch two bullet trains connect with the robotic arms tucked away in the nose cone of the train.

Wow, it was like a robot, it was like a Gundam, like in real world

So what we just saw is that there are two trains kind of going apart and one was red one was green and a red

Akita and the name of the train is Komachi and that's named after a cute Akita girl

And the green one here is for Hayabusa named after Falcon. The third Falcon is really fast

Looks like some sort of mating ritual as the red train creeps up on the Hayabusa

Well, I suppose the Komachi is literally means Akita girl

Let's face it. It's the girl approaching the guy, right?

In this case, yeah. It's always like that

It's always like the guy waiting for a girl girl.

That's how it works for Riotaro. The girls always come to him

The Highway-Buses says it's the fastest Shinkansen in Japan and its top speed

It could rock it through the countryside at 200 miles per hour.

Not that you'd necessarily know from the comfort of the cabin.

Even now after riding bullet trains for like 7 years

I'm still in awe of the amount of seat pets you get on the standard seats. These seats here are

98 centimeters a pitch I can barely reach the seat in front of me if my outstretched my arm

I've got a normal human sized arm and a 44 with 44 centimeters wide. So it's pretty spacious

It's kind of gliding on air because every single wheel on the carriage of a bullet train is powered

So if you imagine a four-wheel-drive vehicle

In the moment people sit down or a train they whip out their drink or snack. And what do we got?

This is the worst way to ride a bullet train, with a mouth full of sour plum sweets

Whenever british friends of mine come to Japan, they're always envious, they have these sort of trains

There's definitely a sense that Japan needs. Given how mountainous the country is without bullet trains

you can turn a journey into a nightmare. For example, Sendai to Tokyo if you drive here

how long is it? like five hours. If you got a bullet train you can do it  in 90 minutes

Sendai and Tokyo at least once a month and costs about 1100 yen, a 100 dollars.

If you do ride the bullet train between Tokyo and Sendai, there's a pretty good chance

Good reason not to ride the bullet train between Tokio and Sendai

Halfway on our journey to Tokyo with my mouth forever broken by the taste of sour plums

We hop off the train at Fukushima station

to witness the intense sight and the bullet train blasting past us at full speed. So

Bullet trains don't stop at every station,

this one going between Tokyo and Sendai for example doesn't stop here at Fukushima station

but what that means is when you stand here

in about 5 - 10 minutes a bullet trains gonna pass through here at 300 km/h

a 17 car bullet train passing through here...

and people come up here just to watch it because it's quite a scenes in the hole you

Can hear it right rumbling in the distance like a thunderstorm

and then before you know it it's shot right through it.

Before hopping on our next train to Tokyo with about 20 minutes to spare one of us is feeling a bit peckish

every major station in Japan is the ultimate in fast food where a single dish of noodles

can be whipped up in about 20 seconds taking a further 20 seconds for Riotaro to make it magically disappear

And what's most important is like ther're choices of like soba or udon

where you have to mention about  soba or udon
