I recently travelled on the H5 Shinkansen (bullet train) which has a top speed of 320 kmh, making it (and the identical E5) the fastest operational bullet train in Japan. I read that they have been tested at over 400 kmh. This video clip is low resolution. When I get the chance to record a commentary, I'll post it to vimeo at HD.

And here's the obligatory Pentax photo:

Enjoyed the video Rob. Thanks for sharing.

You're welcome! I always try to turn up early for my train at Tokyo station so I can see a few different trains. Making the video I found out that the original Max Toki had been retired; I'll have to check my photos from 2011 to see if I photographed one at that time.
