Hiroshima, Japan
Shinkansen bullet train journey between Tokyo and Kyoto
Kyoto · Japan1 hour
About this experience
Between Tokyo and Kyoto the Shinkansen races through Japan's busiest corridor. Past the window glide cities, fields and, on some days, the outline of Mount Fuji. Seats are comfortable, departures punctual, and the ride linking two great cities is an experience in itself.
If you hope to see Fuji, you also need clear weather. Keeping luggage small makes things easier. Bring water and a snack for the ride.
