If you have the time in Japan don't take the shinkansen, you won't see a thing cause its constantly surrounded by concrete sound barriers

we're now taking a limited express and it's actually really nice (and cheaper than shinkansen)

more comfortable than shinkansen too since the shinkansen attacks your ears with many pressure changes due to speed

@felifeli limited amount of stops!
Semi express stops more often

super-express even less

something like this

This train halts only 5 times between Osaka and Nagoya. We just did like 45 minutes without stops.

@aetios oh okay thats unexpected! Thanks!! So like RE stops less than RB basically (not necessarily equivalent in amount of stops/speed of course)

You won't see this from a shinkansen (or maybe for 2 seconds while you blast past)

@aetios I remember learning about rolling shutter effect because I was trying to take a picture of Mt Fuji from a Shinkansen and everything in the foreground was slanted. 12 y/o johann was very confused at first neofox_lul

many pressure changes
huh, would have expected it to be airtight, because I think I’ve heard ICEs are airtight for this reason

@Johann150 @aetios the train changes shape and compresses even if it’s airtight…

@Johann150 ICE's are much more comfortable than shinkansen in terms of pressure

@aetios @Johann150 well duh they’re a lot slower (because the railways are in terrible shape)

@mia @Johann150 @aetios i've gone barely slower than shinkansen top speed in ice and there was no noticeable pressure change, even rjx going 250 was way more pronounced

@mia @Johann150 even at the 320 kph top speed I had no issues
