• I thought Tom might have had enough of trains by the time we got to Nagoya but he was super excited about going to the Maglev Railway Museum, so I agreed to go along. The museum was a gigantic space filled with trains you could explore, so we took a break from travelling on trains to walking around ones that weren't going anywhere.

• The three most exciting trains were an old steam train that was the fastest in the world, the fastest electric train in the world and the fastest train in the world ever. It's record speed was 571 km/h and considering I was feeling queasy on our Shinkansen which was only 300 km/h, I don't think my bento would have made the journey.

• The second highlight of the museum was a maglev simulator where you could experience what it would feel like to travel at 500 km/h. The train begins to levitate when it reaches a high speed so the journey feels completely smooth. I think they played the film in English for our benefit so when we were told to look out of the windows, we were the only people who did.
