Question: is nozomi the fastest shinkansen?
Answer: Nozomi (のぞみ, "Wish" or "Hope") is the fastest train service running on the Tōkaidō/San'yō Shinkansen lines in Japan. The service stops at only the largest stations, and along the stretch between Shin-Ōsaka and Hakata, Nozomi services using N700 series equipment reach speeds of 300 km/h (186 mph).
