A train ride which used to take a full day has been cut down to just four hours now that Japan’s iconic Shinkansen bullet train finally services northern Hokkaido.

The Hokkaido Shinkansen (goo.gl/Zv8Joh), scheduled to open Mar 26, will travel from Aomori Prefecture to Shin-Hakodate Hokuto station via the undersea Seikan Tunnel, running with 10 return services daily between Tokyo and Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto, and one return service daily between Shin-Aomori and Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto.

Though the Shinkansen is one of the fastest trains in the world, it will be forced to reduce its top speed from 300 km/h to 140 km/h due to safety issues in the tunnel.

A ticket from Tokyo will cost you 22,690 yen (B7,000). But don’t expect to reach Sapporo—that route won’t be ready till 2030.
