  • Shinkansen are a group of Sanrio characters who are trains.
  • The concept of a super-fast train was originally conceived in 1940 as a 150 km/h (93 mph) railway (50% faster than the fastest express trains of the time) that traveled from Tokyo to Shimonoseki, but the beginning of World War II stalled the project until construction began again on 20th April 1959. Completed in 1964, with the first train traveled from Tokyo to Osaka on 1st October 1964, it's opening was timed to coincide with the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. Since then, the line's success resulted in expansion to reach other cities in the country and the line's design would later be adopted by European countries to connect their own cities.

abstract
  • The concept of a super-fast train was originally conceived in 1940 as a 150 km/h (93 mph) railway (50% faster than the fastest express trains of the time) that traveled from Tokyo to Shimonoseki, but the beginning of World War II stalled the project until construction began again on 20th April 1959. Completed in 1964, with the first train traveled from Tokyo to Osaka on 1st October 1964, it's opening was timed to coincide with the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. Since then, the line's success resulted in expansion to reach other cities in the country and the line's design would later be adopted by European countries to connect their own cities. There are three types of trains on the Tōkaidō line: from fastest to slowest (which are dictated by the number of stations they stop at) they are the Nozomi, Hikari, and Kodama. Each train is divided between “Business Class” carriages (known as Green Cars) and carriages with Reserved seats and Non-Reserved seats (evidently tickets for the Non-Reserved seat cars are the most affordable and also the most popular).
