Jomon Bunka, or Jomon culture, was based on hunting, fishing and gathering.
Most of Japanese students can easily recall a straw rope pattern pottery as a main characteristic item of this culture because they saw this in the first page of Japanese history textbooks.
Besides the pottery, many useful tools were invented such as a fish hook, a bow and arrow.

The Jomon period extends from 10,000 B.C to 300 B.C.
During this period, people’s life changed drastically from relocating life in order for chasing food to stable settlement life.

People dug down the ground to make the floor and set up pillars to support the roof.
This was the beginning of a real house called a pit house.
Then helmets appeared and there were houses, graves and shell midden.

Jomon culture was not uniform in all the regions in Japan but was various cultural styles depending on each region.

Most valuable and famous Jomon archaeological site in Japan is located in Hokkaido and Northern Tohoku.
These sites were designated as the world cultural heritage this year.

Shinkansen is the super express train nicknamed a bullet train,

Today this service has expanded from Tokyo to the southern island of Kyushu, and northern island of Hokkaido.

Two most famous characteristic of Shinkansen are its punctuality and safety.
In terms of punctuality, I heard that conductor was apologize for only 20 second earlier departure to the passengers.
And guests were so surprised by the punctuality of this service.And as for safety, There has not been a single fatality due to any mechanical malfunction in its long history.

In my experience, the most favorite view from this train window are between Tokyo and Nagoya on Tokaido-line.
We can enjoy the breath taking view of Mt. Fuji.
If you have a chance to go to Kansai area from Tokyo by Shinkansen.
Right hand side seats in the direction of travel are recommended.
