Bullet train to Kanazawa

Overland to Tokyo • Bullet train to Kanazawa
• Destination: Kanazawa
Morning: We’ll leave our hotel and drive to the train station in Tokyo, where we’ll board a bullet train—the legendary high-speed train service that revolutionized travel in Japan.
The Japanese call this train the shinkansen. It is one of the world’s finest quick-transit trains, and still among the fastest trains in the world, traveling at speeds of up to 200 mph.
Prior to boarding, you will need to stand at a precise location indicated by your coach and seat accommodations. The train stops exactly where indicated and sure enough, your coach will be right in front of you. After boarding the bullet train at Tokyo Station, we’ll enjoy views of Japan’s rolling countryside and modern cityscapes on our journey to Kanazawa.
Lunch: On your own today at your convenience.
We suggest doing as the Japanese do: Buy a packed lunch (called eki-ben) in the station and enjoy it on the train. Eki-ben lunches are one of the attractions of train travel in Japan and usually include rice or noodles, vegetables, and
sushi or meat.Read more
