Shinkansen has extensive network from Tokyo to all over Japan, and the most busy route is Tokaido Shinkansen that connects major cities such as Kyoto and Osaka. This video explains what it’s like to travel on Tokaido Shinkansen between Tokyo and Kyoto, and show you what to know upon booking and getting on.

Arigatou always. 24 Tokyo ni ikimasu. Hope to bump with you so I can give you snaks from the Philippines 😊
Hi Ken Chan, for the non reserved seats, that means there is a possibility that there will be no seats and have to stand?
Thanks for the informative videos. We will be arriving in Tokyo at the end of November and your videos have made it easier for us to plan our trip.
