Japan Train Station Platform Food

[Tony Galiani]

 

Food and trains - always a good combination.  Think I would like to try the one at Akihabara Station on my way to or from the model train shops over there.

Ciao,

Tony

I miss the days when the shinkansen had restaurant cars.  i once rode in the restaurant car all the way from Tokyo to Osaka, and ate everything on the menu.

I believe JNR had them because since the trains had a top speed of 230 km/h (143 mph) even with the 100 series trainset, it took a long time to travel if you went between Tokyo to destinations west of Tokyo like Okayama, HIroshima, Tokuyama, Shin-Yamaguchi, Kokura and Hakata. They only finally dropped them when the 270 km/h (173 moh) 300 series train set arrived in 1992.

Sad that there’s not even trolley service on the Tokaido Shinkansen anymore. You can order to your seat if you’re in a Green Car on a Hikari or Nozomi. At least JR East are still doing trolley service.
 

But I guess there are no dining cars left in Japan at all now, just the dining experience trains.
