Hikari Shinkansen ride from Kyoto

My second 10+ minutes video into YouTube. A window point of view of the ride between Kyoto and Maibara stations. No music no dialogue. It is just like if you were riding the train and watching the scenery from your seat.

The train set is a N700A series (N700系). The train service is Hikari (ひかり), that is the second fastest. This ride was around noon on a sunny summer day. This trip takes 18 minutes. Mostly with views of suburban and rural areas and two tunnels. It shows about five or six trains in the opposite direction passing by at full speed during this trip. By the end of the video there is a train passing by at full speed while while waiting for passengers to disembark.

The train is very quiet with a smooth ride. Only the sound of the wind when going at 300 km/h and the occasional sound of wheels passing on a bridge or switch. I love the catchy tune before the train announcements.

Please comment if you like to have more videos like this one. Or things you will like to have improved.
