What is the name of the high-speed train system in operation in Japan?

Answer

Shinkansen is the high-speed train system in operation in Japan. The name refers to both the trains and the infrastructure. The use of a set of dedicated lines and the techniques employed made Shinkansen a forerunner and Japan the pioneer of high-speed rail travel when it came into service in 1964.
