I would not tell you where I went in one post but I will take you on the journey of my trip in Japan.

The moment I touchdown from Osaka, I immediately took a train to another station nearby to catch my first ever experience taking the Shinkansen aka Bullet train towards Tokyo.  In total, the journey is about 2,118 km travel towards Tokyo.

AMAZED is the word I would like to used to describe the cleanliness and the comfortableness of the train that I took on the above picture.  Be surprise when you get to know that the train I took is just a normal train, it cant be compared to any other train that took before in my life. That is before I took the Shinkansen. Not to exaggerate, but it truly is clean and the staff there is very respectful and courteous to a foreign like me even when they dont understand what I am trying to say. The staff remained calm and try understand the situation that I am in with my dis-coordinated sign language. Kudos to the staff there.


Definitely the best experience I had in a train, the stability of the Shinkansen cruising at the speed of 320 km/h is superb.  It is definitely a once in a life time try, if you intend to go Japan, it will be such a waste to not to try the train. They have a designated smoking area in the train which I failed to take a picture of it. The total time taken to travel from Osaka to Tokyo is approximately 3 hours 40 mins plus.  Some would say it is better to take a plane there as it would be a faster alternative, but what would be the fun in doing that.  As I thought the journey or process of getting there that makes it fun as I get to experience new things and see how the travel system in Japan works. Without a doubt, Japan bullet train is great and I had an awesome experience riding it.  the catch for the train is that it is expensive in my point of view, but the quality was not lagging. The price of the ticket from Osaka towards Tokyo is about $160 Singapore dollars for a one-way ticket. But as a traveler, DONT let money hinder the experience you are looking for.
