Create your own paper ‘Series N700S’ Shinkansen and learn about Japanese railway technology and innovation using an activity sheet created by Japan House London in collaboration with Central Japan Railway Company.
The Shinkansen, ‘bullet train’, is an important symbol of Japanese technology and innovation and runs along various lines connecting the country – from Hokkaido in the north to Kyushu in the south.
The award-winning ‘Series N700S’ (‘S’ is for Supreme) Shinkansen, runs along the Tōkaidō and Sanyō Shinkansen lines, connecting Tokyo with Kyoto, Osaka, Hiroshima and Hakata, and was introduced in July 2020. Running at 300 kph (186 mph), it has many cutting-edge features in Japanese train technology – including a more streamlined and lightweight design, superior noise reduction, and robust safety measures – making for a greener, smoother and safer journey for passengers.
