Shinkansen to the MAX

William is a Shinkansen buff. He knows the different types. We had the opportunity to go on one, versus a regular train. It costed $25 for a seat for me, and $15 for a seat for him, on top of the cost of the ticket. But, William wanted to sit on the upper deck.
Of course, the boys were hamming it up.
That's the train we took, the MAX Tanigawa to Tokyo. Hey, I can read all that!!!
And we were off....
Since it was a short distance, we didn't go as fast as it's top speed, but it was faster than a regular train, and definitely more smooth to ride on!
Getting off the train, I snapped this as the descended the stairs... over my shoulder, trying not to tie up any of the Japanese who were also getting off.
