OT: Shinkansen Snapping Spots


Recommended Posts

Hi all, I could potentially be going back to Japan in December should I not be enlisted prior to that. 

 

Just wanted to ask, with the help of many experts here, where are the best spots to snap various Shinkansen trains?

 

The one I’m looking out for the most would be Hokuriku Shinkansen. There’s a park that allows you to snap the train making a turn out of the tunnel right? 

 

Many thanks!

Hi everyone, my post got deleted somewhere in this forum and I believe it’s due to me posting on the wrong forum. 

 

I was asking for famous/great Shinkansen snapping spots as I might be going back to Japan in December (depending if I enlist into National service after my A levels) 

 

Are there any great places to recommend? I would love to visit the park or location where many can snap the Hokuriku Shinkansen E/W7s turning and entering/exiting out of a tunnel. However, I’m not very sure where it is located

Smurph,

 

Your post is still in the other hobbies forum where you first posted. This is probably the best place to do this Post though.

 

cheers,

Perhaps not the most famous, but there is a valley where both the shinkansen and tokaido lines come out of tunnels, cross on bridges and duck back into tunnels.  It's on my bucket list at least.

While this one has no shinkansen line, there is also a spot above the tokaido line where you can see the coast, railway, highway and on a clear day Mt Fuji.  Also on my bucket list when I get to visit japan.

As Jeff pointed out, your original thread was moved to the appropriate sub forum. I merged the new thread with the original one.
