Shinkansen bullet train E5 Hayabusa

On my profile image you can see the bullet train " Shinkansen" type E5 . Shimmering green and long nose it is the faster AV train in Japan, V max 320 kmh. Excellent confort and service inside on three classes. Seats are like airplanes, but with more space for the legs . During the trip form Tokyo to Hakodate (Hokkaido island) it cross the Seikan tunnel: 54 Km and 100 mt. under sea level! On this railway section the two tracks have three rails (one common) due to two different type of gauges: reduced by normal Japan train and AV line (as European AV). Shinkansen means in japan language "new railway line" due to different gauge from standard railway line (regional, limited express and freight trains) Currently the Shinkansen line start in the south from Kagoshima to Hakodate 2350 Km. Start from year 2023 additional 250 Km. for arrive in Sapporo.
