Joetsu Shinkansen

We rode the Joetsu Shinkansen on a Toki MAX (E4 Series) which is a bi-level Shinkansen. We only rode one station from JR Tokyo Station to JR Ueno Station.We visited both the bottom and top of the car. On these trains the top is regular seating and the bottom is the reserved seating. There are also Green Car seats on the top in other sections.

Spiral stair case of train spiral stair case, I think it is kind of cool.
