Reasons Why the Japanese Trains are Different
Anyone who experienced the Japanese trains has a story to tell… However, what makes the Japanese trains so different?

what a great and in-depth review about japanese trains. the point about co-operating japanese train manufacturers is particularly interesting especially since they have been collaborating since the first shinkansen in 1964.

The story and photos of the Japanese train system are wonderful. I am sorry to say I did not use the train in Japan. I took a bus from Narita to Shinjuku and flew from Tokyo to Osaka and from there to Akita. I think it would have been a lot more fun to go by train and we would have seen a lot more of the countryside!

I have used the subway in Tokyo and it is wonderful and very cheap to buy a ticket! It is also fun getting around as we got lost but expected to do so, we had fun trying to find our way and the staff were very helpful even though their english was poor but then again my Japanese is terrible, so who am I to talk!

Wow, I didn't know there were sites like this on the web... You've revolutionized my view of what a Japanese blog can be!

I've always wished America would get on the ball with our public transportation. We are soo far behind Japan. Of, course we are a lot larger... but we can move in the direction at least..

I was hoping for a Bullet train from Seattle to Spokane....

Thanks!

"In 2007, compared to the reliability of the French TGV trains, the Shinkansen trains scored 60 times better…" Well this is the year of 2010, maybe you should renew the report. I think we should also compare the Shinkanshen system with the emerging High-speed rail in Mainland China, it would be nice to make a comparison.

This is a really interesting article. I've never really been interested about the efficiency of trains other than getting to my destination with ease. But reading this article has opened my eyes about transportation systems in general, and it's also detailed and well-written without being dull.

Thanks for the information! I'm definitely a new fan of this blog!

Mumbai, India too has a train departing every 3 minutes and more often than not, they are punctual. but being a government run service, it has its flaws. The trains are outdated, comfort is minimal, cleanliness has gone to the dogs and more importantly trains are not as revered as their Japanese counter parts.

Yes, buying tickets sometimes is a nightmare. If you live in Japan though it gets easier. When I was in Osaka I bought the wrong ticket to Kyoto. My Japanese friend was able to tell the guy working at the station that I was a foreigner and didn't know how to buy tickets... I got my money back! lol. I wouldn't count on that next time though.
