The Shinkansen, also known as bullet trains, are like mighty dragons snaking across the Japanese landscape. The best deal for tourists coming to Japan is the wonderful JR rail pass, ten times more useful than a Euro pass, good for most local destinations as well as high-speed travel across Japan. Not only does it pay for itself in two quick rides, but it is an amazingly efficient, comfortable and quickest way to travel around Japan. These flying dragons travel at speeds of around 210 km/h and one of the regular local lines Carries 151 million passengers a year which makes the b.c. ferries system seem a little like the train around Disney Land but without the pirates, the dancing mice or splash mountain... However, the way this train moves it does make it seem like a small world after all.
