There's a lot to love about visiting Japan, but one of the greatest pleasures is train travel in Japan. The unbelievably fast (we're talking up-to-185-miles-per-hour-fast) and efficient (we're talking delays-are-measured-in-seconds-efficient) Shinkansen - or Bullet Trains - connect Japan's major cities in the blink of an eye, while equally well-organised local and regional trains connect the major hubs to some of the lesser-known, untouched towns and islands where time has stood still. This makes getting around this long, linear country a complete breeze. In fact, there should be little or no need to ever sit in a car on the entire trip,
so your time in Japan will also be extremely sustainable.
