Today we went to the beautiful city of Kyoto, on one of Japan’s legendary Nozomi Shinkansen trains. The Nozomi is Japan’s fastest train service and runs on the Tokaido and San’yō Shinkansen lines. The service only stops at the largest stations. Its N700 series rolling stock reaches speeds of 83 metres per second (300 km/h | 186 mph).
We also spent quite a lot of time photographing Kyoto’s magnificent railway station building. Then we rounded the day off with a trip up the famous Kyoto Tower.
Out for the day with Chiara, my Italian researcher and photo model. Only this time Chiara was behind the camera.

A less sweary and less amusing analysis…
