Yes, the Shinkansen trains run about every ten minutes and each line or route has a different name such as the Hikido running from Tokyo to Osaka in about 2 and a half hours for the 550 Klm (341 Miles). The fastest of them is the Nazomi this train takes only 2 hours for the same trip. FACT: Shinkansen means Elephant Trunk Route.
