An illustrated history of Japan's amazing bullet trains--the original high-speed network!

This first-ever photographic history offers a rare archival look at the rise and evolution of the legendary system that has crisscrossed Japan for over 60 years. Make station stops as the lines linked and expanded. Trace the tech evolution of trains that became sleeker and ever faster through the years.

This illustrated guide gives readers a first-class seat on a fact-filled journey through time, offering:

  • A visual overview of the changes in the lines, trains and services over the past 60-plus years
  • Glimpses of the preparations and work required before the first tracks were even laid
  • A look at the services that were discontinued and the limited express lines created
  • Social history, such as the introduction of smoking cars and commuter passes
