Hello, young explorers! Have you ever heard of the Shinkansen? It's the amazing Japanese bullet train that zooms through the countryside at incredible speeds. Today, we’re going to learn all about this marvel of modern engineering. Ready to hop on board? Let’s go! The Birth of the Shinkansen The Shinkansen, which means "new trunk line" in Japanese, was launched in 1964, just in time for the Tokyo Olympics. It was a groundbreaking achievement, designed to connect cities faster than ever before. The first line, the Tokaido Shinkansen, connected Tokyo and Osaka. Imagine travelling between these cities in just a few hours! How Fast is the Shinkansen? The Shinkansen is known for its incredible speed. The first trains could travel up to 210 kilometres per hour (about 130 miles per hour). Today, some Shinkansen trains reach speeds of up to 320 kilometres per hour (about 200 miles per hour)! That’s almost three times faster than a car on a highway. Imagine zooming past everythin
