Blogging about the Bullet Train

This week, I took the Bullet Train from Tokyo to Kobe. It was the first time I had traveled that far by train in Japan.

I started off the morning by picking up some sushi to eat during the journey. I am a fan of Convenience Store sushi; it makes a great breakfast on the go.


I settled in and watched the scenery as we rushed by. I saw Mt. Fuji in the distance but couldn't get a picture in time. After we left the outskirts of Tokyo, the countryside was green and dotted with small villages like the one below.


I like the roof on the building in the picture below. It has a classic Japanese design.

2 1/2 hours later, I arrived in Kobe and took a quick detour on my way to my meeting. More on that later.
