First class commuter interiors--these are on double-deck carriages (top is blue, bottom is pink)pic.twitter.com/caWKw8jjy1
To wrap things up, a look inside the high-speed trains connecting Tokyo with Tohoku and Hokkaido...
First, the E2 series--this is the basic model that runs on the Tohoku and Joetsu Shinkansen linespic.twitter.com/Hpj8nLiV60
The E3 series was introduced for Komachi service to Akita, but now runs to Shinjo and Yamagata as the Tsubasa instead...pic.twitter.com/siVfLALFXU
...but there's also a limited-service Tsubasa, called Toreiyu, a hot-springs train...pic.twitter.com/zpuM0RBE7S
...by which I mean there are on-board hot tubs (and plenty of alcohol)pic.twitter.com/qwNQt4NQth
The E5 and H5 series (essentially the same design, just different color stripe) is the fastest model on the East Japan Shinkansen...pic.twitter.com/GhLMF9uhFY
...it offers standard-class, first-class, and "Gran Class" seatingpic.twitter.com/hAbEtCHi4E
Finally, the E6, used on Komachi service to Akitapic.twitter.com/03gQVVURBP
We hope you enjoyed today's tour! As always, thank you for riding with #TrainTwitterpic.twitter.com/3PpqhWYQsd
I'm not *entirely* sure they're privatized there but they are spectacular and very well-run
