Yesterday, (Friday, November 27, 2015) Kakehashi Group B [Hawaii Pacific University students] departed Tokyo to travel to Nagano, Japan for the "homestay experience." Japan's high speed bullet trains, also known as "Shinkansen" offer visitors an experience like no other with speeds reaching up to 320 kilometers per hour.
Inside the train, there are comfy seats, outlet to charge your phones/laptops, and a foldable table like those in airplanes. Indeed, it's an experience like no other.
