Except if one takes the fastest train in the world! We took the
[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T%C5%8Dkaid%C5%8D_Shinkansen|Tokaido Shinkansen]] line from Odawara to Kyoto,
riding on a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/700_Series_Shinkansen|700-series]] train for the
-[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hikari_%28Shinkansen%29|Hikari service]].
+[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hikari_%28Shinkansen%29|Hikari]] service (not the faster
+[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nozomi_%28train%29|Nozomi]], but still very impressive).
The ticket cost a whopping 11240 yen per person, and I'm not even getting a
