The Japanese rail system is world-renowned and a great way to explore the country easily, quickly and cheaply. Here are the top five reasons why you should take a train ride during your stay.
The Bullet Train
Japan is famous for its high-speed Shinkansen, or “bullet train” that transports passengers at speeds of more than 300 kph. While it doesn’t give you the chance to enjoy the passing scenery, the experience is like no other in the world.
The Food
Japanese train stations have amazing eateries for travelers on the go. You can enjoy anything from a hearty bowl of ramen to a refreshing meal of sushi along with a plethora of traditional sweets.
The Sake
While you are waiting for your train you can relax at one of the many bars found in the train stations with a glass of traditional sake.
Ekinaka
Ekinaka are shopping malls located within the train stations. These fantastic complexes give travelers a great way to spend the time (and money) waiting for their trains.
Stunning Scenery
Japan has incredibly beautiful countryside and one of the best ways to see as much of it is as possible is by traveling between cities via train so you can take it all in.
