Among its developing plans for the "Shinkansen Year 2022" anniversary celebrations, East Japan Railways will be offering stay plans
that include the experience of driving the Shinkansen Simulator at its Metropolitan Hotel Edmont (Tokyo, Iidabashi).
The E5 Shinkansen simulator developed by Ongakukan is set up in the hotel lobby; it is made from real parts used in rolling stock by JR East
to recreate a faithful master controller unit and bring a more realistic experience.
Along with the realistic console, since the images projected on the screen are footage of the normally impossible to experience driver's point of view,
it is a real driving operation.
This is the first time that this simulator initially created for international exhibition, is made available to the public in Japan.
