Japan Log : Day 4

On that day, I first had to take the train from Ueno to Yamagata and then from there, take the bus up to Zao Onsen which is located atop of some mountain 50 min away from Yamagata. The ride from Ueno to Yamagata was by shinkansen, the Japanese bullet train; I was eager to ride one for my first time. While waiting in the station I saw many MAX models, which were totally impressive: their aerodynamic noses do look like bullets and they had 2 floors ! The model I rode was a Tsubasa Shinkansen, slightly less impressive, but still awesome to take. The seats were comfortable, the interior design pretty nice and it rode on the rails very smoothly.
