Woah what model of Shinkansen did you ride?
Every trip I made on the Tokaido line had these wide rows large enough people can fit a luggage standing in front on their feet (and not in green cars).
I'm 190cm too and Japan is the only country I've been able to ride trains (or highway buses) with that much room for the legs. Not every bus or train of course but otherwise it's as short as it would get in europe.
- pietjepuk88 8y agoAgreed. 196 cm/6'5" here, and the only thing I found lacking was the width of the chairs on the Tokaido line (3+2 arrangement). I'm not sure what the pitch of the seats is, but I had plenty of leg room (much more than any train in the Netherlands anyway, let alone air planes). If you ever find yourself in Japan with a rail pass, do use the free reservation option when traveling between Osaka and Kagoshima with the Sakura. That one has a 2+2 arrangement in the reserved seat cars, which makes for a more comfortable ride. I do agree with things being quite small/low though, bumping my head at least a couple times a week.
