A Tokaido Shinkansen pulls into Jr Utsunomiya Station on the southbound tracks (Track 4). This fellow got me to Tokyo (100km) in about 55 minutes. Not suuuuuper fast (Tokyo-Osaka Hikari goes much faster), but much faster than the local JR line that runs down below. These trains are probably one of my most favorite things about Japan.
