First Class on Japan’s Shinkansen: Tokyo to Kyoto

We’re leaving Tokyo on a 2-hour trip to Kyoto, at speeds above 300 kilometers per hour, without leaving the ground. We’re doing it by taking the world-famous Shinkansen bullet train between cities. And we booked their first-class “green car” to see if it’s worth the extra cost. If you’ve seen our Milan to Paris episode, you already know we’re not very good at trains. So will this be a fast and simple point A to B or are we on the fast track to another stressful day of travel?
