Re: Japan's slowest train

I couldn't get either of those to open but this one works well: Hayabusa.

Travels at "only" 185 mph - yeah, sorry. 185 MPH is impressive but I wonder why the country that introduced the first HSR bullet train is introducing a train 35 mph slower then newcomer China?

Perhaps they are "stuck" with an "old fashioned" right of way or anything faster would not mesh well with the current schedule.

On a side note, it would seem like Japan comes out with new bullet trains almost as often as the US comes out with new studies...
