But there is one drawback I have to mention. Because Shinkansen has no competitor, the price is fixed and it is rather high. Unless you buy airline ticket at the last minute, airlines offer cheaper transportation between Tokyo and Osaka.
One more thing. Shinkansen have not accident since it started operation back in 1964. That is over 53 years without an accident.
