How fast is the N700 bullet train?
300km/h
The Series N700, based on the high potential of the Series 700 that was introduced in 1999, has significantly enhanced the speed, comfort and energy performance.
It has increased the maximum speed from 270km/h (168.5mph) to 300km/h (186mph) and has reduced end-to-end journey times accordingly
How much do Shinkansen tickets cost?
All Areas of Japan and JR Pass
The price for a seven-day pass is 29,110 yen. For comparison, the regular Shinkansen fare for a one-way, reserved seat from Tokyo to Osaka is 14,450 yen, so purchasing this Japan Rail Pass makes up for the cost of a round trip
The Tokaido shinkansen is the only profitable high speed rail route in the world. It's expensive because it's the best way to travel between cities. Shinkansen tickets cost roughly the same as the highway tolls for the same distance, so traveling alone by Shinkansen is a better option than driving
