While I was in Japan last time, Mat and Sriram and I happened to be in Gifu-Hashima station near Nagoya at night when a Shinkansen went flying through the station. Sriram had the presence of mind to record it on his camera, so if you ever wanted to see (and hear) what it is like to be right next to a Shinkansen flying along at 280km/hr, look at this.
About 5 minutes after this video was taken, two Shinkansens went through the station simultaneously from opposite directions at full speed. Waaaaayyy cool. Unforunately Sriram didn’t get that on video very well. Share and enjoy.
