Today, high-speed trains are common worldwide, but the Japanese Shinkansen, or Bullet Train, stands out for its ultra high-speed, comfortable ride, cleanliness, accuracy, and safety. This tour is designed for those interested in experiencing a short ride on the Japanese Bullet Train, with a round trip from Tokyo to Mishima, located at the foot of Mt. Fuji in Shizuoka Prefecture.
