Airplane across land

When my parents came to visit me in Japan, we bought the JR Rail Pass, which allowed us to go anywhere on any JR train for five days. We could even travel on the famous Shinkansen!

I had traveled on the high speed bullet train before, but only once. And for my parents, our ride from Okayama to Hiroshima would be the first time. They were super excited, especially my dad.

And they were definitely impressed.

Riding the Shinkansen is almost like riding an airplane – only better. The seats are more comfortable, the ride is smoother, there's always something to see from the window – and the train is almost unfailingly on time!

We could get used to traveling like this.
