Der pünktlichste Zug der Welt - Unterwegs mit dem Shinkansen (2023)

EndedDocumentary show

Japan's Shinkansen is the world's most punctual long-distance express train. And it takes us to the most beautiful places in Japan. The journey takes us past some of the most beautiful and original places in Japan: We visit a wasabi farmer, who initiates us into the secrets of the most demanding cultivated plant in the world. In a 400-year-old drum factory, we are there when one of the last giant taiko drums in the world is built. We also take a look behind the scenes of the record-breaking train: We sit in the cockpit with one of the youngest Shinkansen pilots in the country who lets us take a test drive with an almost perfect Shinkansen of the future. A voyage of discovery with the high-tech super train into the soul of Japanese craftsmanship.
