JAPAN: The Amenities You Will Find Inside the Shinkansen

If I had a choice between riding the plane in economy seats or riding the shinkansen, I would definitely choose to ride the shinkansen. The shinkansen is very comfortable, clean and fast. The ride is very smooth. I had no difficulty sleeping. Below are the amenities you will find inside the Shinkansen.
