A shinkansen bullet train speeds past the huge Mount Fuji 🚄🗻 one of the most famous views in Japan, seen from the Tokaido Shinkansen between Tokyo and Osaka. Leave Fuji’s snowcap white, then choose your own colors for the train. Add the sky, the clouds and the green hills to finish the scene.
On the Tokaido Shinkansen, the Nozomi runs at up to 285 km/h (177 mph), and on the Tohoku Shinkansen the Hayabusa reaches 320 km/h (199 mph). The tracks and trains are built so precisely that the ride stays remarkably smooth. The fastest trains link Tokyo and Shin-Osaka in about 2 hours 20 minutes.
How long does the snow stay on Mount Fuji?
Mount Fuji’s first snow of the season (hatsukansetsu) usually arrives in late September or October. The snowcap lasts through winter and spring and often lingers on the upper slopes into early summer, before almost all of it melts in July and August. At 3,776 m (12,388 ft), Fuji is the highest mountain in Japan.
