For our first ever bullet train ride, we decided to book the Nozomi Shinkansen from Tokyo to Osaka. This is Japan's fastest bullet train line, and we had a blast experiencing it and reviewing it for you! Our first impressions of Japan's fastest bullet trains is that the ride isn't long enough! We almost regret booking the fastest shinkansen, because we would have loved to be on the bullet train for longer.

Our journey started at Tokyo Station, which is where the Tokyo Metro and Shinkansen lines meet, meaning it is a super busy station! We highly recommend going to the platform a bit early so you can head to the front of the bullet trains and really enjoy these manmade wonders before boarding. Given that this is our bullet train ride in Japan, we are sharing our first impressions and full seat tour with you as we embark on this very fast 500km journey to Osaka.

If you're anything like us, you are strangely interested in what the washroom situation is like on trains. They are so varied around the world, and we were super interested to see what the bullet train washroom would be like given Japan's washrooms are world class. Let's just say, we were not disappointed!

If you are visiting Japan and are wondering how to book a bullet train ride in Japan, we've included information in this video to make sure you can easily book your bullet train ticket yourself. If you have trouble using the official JR website, you can always try Klook instead (which is a bit more foreigner friendly):

We've been on quite a few train rides during our travels, and this is definitely the cleanest and most ontime train that we have ever ridden. If you are traveling to Japan and plan to get the JR Pass to get around, you are in for a treat! The Shinkansen is such an efficient and pleasant experience. Not to mention, it feels like a proper Japanese travel experience all by itself! We think you will find our Shinkansen review video helpful in deciding whether train travel in Japan is right for you :)

======================

Hey there! We are Nicole and Mico and in March 2021, we quit our jobs, sold our belongings, and began traveling the world! We never thought we'd be making travel vlogs on YouTube, but after realizing that we had a unique opportunity to share our adventure and make the world feel more familiar and inviting to anyone watching, we took the leap and picked up the camera! We hope our videos show how wonderful, delicious, and friendly the world can be.
