In this chapter, various Shinkansen developments, which have different dimensions from the technological progress which resulted in the increase in maximum speed, will be presented. The author's perspective is a balance between high performance and cost, the bold challenge of new technologies and timid vigilance toward safety, and the provision of new services that will delight passengers. As examples of how this has been realized, he introduces the mini Shinkansen project, which realized the needs of residents along lines at a small construction cost and the birth of new demands such as Shinkansen commuting and the establishment of stations adjacent to airports. As the accident at Eschede Station in Germany shows, it is difficult to maintain the safety of railways, but as an expert in this field since his youth, he shares his knowledge in a way that is difficult to hear elsewhere.
