The "Nozomi" is the newest version of the Shinkansen, popularly known overseas as the "bullet train". The Nozomi can reach speeds of up to 320 km/h (200 mph) although they currently operate at a maximum of 300 km/h (186 mph) in service. Nozomi trains stop only at the most important stations, and reach Osaka from Tokyo in about two and a half hours.
