Passengers enter to the Hayabusa Shinkansen (bullet train) at Tokyo Station on March 26, 2016, Tokyo, Japan. The Hayabusa shinkansen connects Tokyo with the northern island of Hokkaido via the 53.85 km long Seikan Tunnel. Previously Japan's bullet train only operated as far as Aomori but the new rail link now goes to Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto Station in Hokkaido with a further extension planned to Sapporo by 2030. A one way ticket costs 22,690 yen (200 UDS) from Tokyo to Shin-Hakodate Hokuto and the fastest trains will take 4 hours and 2 minutes for the journey. (Photo by Rodrigo Reyes Marin/AFLO)
