Toyohashi Tip

by huesten

Heard about it and saw it on TV but nothing can compare to personally experience the famous bullet train of Japan-The Shinkansen. It can travel to a speed of 300km/hr and seeing it with my own eyes that it flew past the station in just a few seconds. That train make lesser stop than the one that we had boarded. We managed to try this that went at 180km/hr for one station in 15 mins.The feeling inside the train is suprisingly 'no excitement'. It was quiet and don't feel the speed at all. It is almost similar to be on board of the aeroplane.

Indeed, there are many travel possibilities, but you have to spend a lot of money. The cheapest and even faster way of getting around is to ride a bycicle.
