10. That's pretty amazing. The cost was way lower than I thought it would be.

I thought, "Lifestyles of the richer and richest" but they said the price was $2500 each. Everything included. The price is somewhat comparable to a cruise ship and granted only 2 days, but not out of the range of many people. Also, the lottery thing probably evens out the price.

Without doing any research on it, the guy said it was very smooth, so I'll bet the Japanese have better rail beds than we do and no doubt the train cars have some amazing suspension design.

It was an interesting piece.

No, it's expensive and for rich people. Not one price for everybody. Why would the lottery thing even out the price? betsuni May 2024 #11

I guess "rich people" is relative. A middle-class or upper middle-class couple could afford it if they were so inclined. Liberal In Texas May 2024 #12

It's expensive. Not that there's anything wrong with that. betsuni May 2024 #13
