Japanese Railway - Shinkansen Nozomi Trains

It's hardly a secret that Japan boasts one of the most advanced railway systems in the world. Trains in Japan are incredibly safe and punctual (an average annual delay is less than 1 minute), and Japanese train Shinkansen is the star among them. They serve Tokaido and Sanyo lines of the world-famous Shinkansen high-speed railway and boast a top speed of 300 km/h (185 mph), allowing you to travel from Tokyo to Osaka in a matter of just 2.5 hours! Shinkansen Nozomi trains pride themselves on providing unmatchable comfort to passengers, as the Japanese bullet trains offer a very smooth ride and fantastic onboard amenities (as well as 2 travel classes to choose from: Ordinary Car and Green Car). Most trains invite travelers to enjoy the cushy adjustable seats with very comfortable headrests and plenty of legroom, Wi-Fi connection, and in-seat reading lights in the first class.
