What's going on in Japan? (No.23)
Railway fans packed Tokyo Station on Saturday to watch the first runs of the sleek E5 Series bullet train on the Tohoku Shinkansen Line. The new Hayabusa super express trains, characterized by their bill-shaped noses, are designed to attain new levels of speed and comfort. Traveling at a maximum 300 kph, the trains will connect Tokyo Station with Shin-Aomori station, 675 km away, in 3 hours and 10 minutes, shaving 10 minutes off the standard Hayate service.
