The record-breaking bullet train, whose operating speed will be capped at 285 kilometers per hour, is currently serving the Tokaido Shinkansen line.

N700S doesn’t only run faster and smoother than the model it will replace, but can also transport passengers to safety in the event of an earthquake.

Inside, it features overhead baggage racks that lights up at every station to prevent passengers from leaving their belongings behind.

The seat and backrest are designed to move together when reclining to help passengers rest during long rides. Power outlets are also installed on every seat to charge phones or to power electric devices.
