Sayonara Max E4 series Shinkansen

It was sad news from Japan that the E4 Series Max, the only double-decker shinkansen  will be retired at 01.10.2021.

When we traveled Japan with our Green Japan rail pass, we received seats in the upper deck. The view from the upper deck was amazing. We already miss having such amazing experiences in the Max.
