Sep 03 (Renata Pereira) - The Shinkansen is a fantastic bullet train in Japan. From Tokyo station to Sendai station it's just 90 minutes via the Akita Line (Tohoku Shinkansen) and it was the best transport during the Olympics (yes, there were competitions outside of Tokyo too).
When you travel to Japan, make sure to include a bullet train ride. Very unique experience for rail lovers.
During the Olympics, there were a few restrictions for foreigners, so it was interesting to compare to my previous trips. Still, the Japan high-speed train is always worth it.
