Going to Japan

[richieb1971]

Booked a ticket to Japan in April 2018.

Visiting at least Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. Will be buying the £200 weekly pass for train travel including the Shinkaisen. Was wondering if there was an active station to see bullet trains at top speed along with some freight for an hour or two.

Thanks for your replies.

While I have no useful advice, Kite159 has been but I suspect he may have only limited advice, I'm curious as to who you booked your flights with. Asking as I may be going next year.

Fukushima and Sendai see quite a few bullet trains. Don't know about freight though.
