Shinkansen time again, for the third and final time this trip. We're taking the 335 km/1 hour 34 minute trip from Nagoya to Shinagawa. We splashed out on Green Car (1st class) tickets again, with seats on the Mt Fuji side. For the full Shinkansen experience we'll be getting bento box lunches to eat en route.
Due to snow we're currently expecting a 5 to 20 minute delay in departure.
Our ride: an N700S operating the Hikari 648 service from Shin-Osaka to Tokyo. It was about 10 minutes late in the end.
Lucky to have a nice clear day today for good views of the scenery zipping by (Mt Fuji being the highlight, of course). The accommodation in the N700S Green Cars is very nice. When I was buying my kakinoha sushi box for lunch I couldn't resist the Doctor Yellow ice cream spoons. It'll go nicely with my Doctor Yellow bento box from the Kyoto Railway Museum...
