  11. Das dürfte dann die letzte große Hürde für Japans #Magnetbahn sein. Man hat sich bei Shizuoka bezüglich des Chūō-Shinkansen geeinigt. Nun wird wahrscheinlich für die nächsten zehn Jahre dort gebaut. Ich bin gespannt, ob das den regen Flugverkehr dort reduziert. Edit: Also mit der letzten Ausbaustufe.

  13. Day 31. Tokyo, Japan.
    6 July 2025.
    Today is a day I've really been looking forward to. The Tokaido Shinkansen (bullet train) to Tokyo. It didn't disappoint! It was like floating, so smooth & quiet. An superb experience.
    We arrive in Tokyo late afternoon & after sorting out at the apt, we go for a meal & a quick walk around the Nishi-Nippori area we are staying in. Early bedtime, early rise tomorrow.
