I filmed this while on the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Kyoto. We were going at full speed of the time I filmed this at ~300 km/hr. The one way ticket cost 12,800 Yen or roughly $160USD (one way). I think flying would have been cheaper actually, but when in Japan...so they say. It was still a very cool experience. It was very quiet, clean, comfortable and spacious inside. Definitely a once in a lifetime "have to try it" thing :D
