I see you are in the smoking car. God it is like London fog in there when it is crowded.
I use to buy beer on the train now I just fill up my camelback three liter hydration system with good Kirin and it is a nice trip indeed.:beer2:

I love the Shinkansen, but as said before the prices are just too much for me. I take the night bus if I am going down to Osaka from Tokyo, much cheaper. Ya who ever designed the seats on the bus needs to have their back covered with paper cuts, have a knee broken, and forced to rid the bus for 3 days. But heck I am young and can deal with the discomfort with some whiskey.
The best pictures of Fuji I have are from the Shinkansen.
