Agreed. Using Japan's rail system, and especially the bullet trains, was a monumentally awesome experience.
Puts our transit system to shame.
Yes, yes, much smaller geographic area. But they also have mountains you know? We went from Tokyo central station to Nagano in like 1hr on the slower of the bullet trains. And we went through mountain passes and tunnels.
Just sayin
