静岡県富士市中野郷の富士川河川敷道路付近で撮影した、東海道新幹線N700A系の走行写真です。撮影地は富士川鉄橋を望む定番の撮影ポイントで、条件が良ければ富士山と新幹線を同時に収めることができることで知られています。

最寄り駅は東海道本線・富士川駅で、鉄道ファンや新幹線撮影愛好家に人気のエリアです。 写真に写るN700A系新幹線は、JR東海が東海道新幹線の主力車両として運用してきた形式で、「のぞみ」「ひかり」「こだま」など幅広い列車種別で活躍しました。

最高速度285km/hで走行し、高速性と快適性を両立した日本を代表する新幹線車両のひとつです。2021年当時は、東京〜名古屋〜大阪を結ぶ東京大阪間の新幹線として日常的に見ることができました。

 現在の東海道新幹線では、後継車両であるN700S系新幹線の導入が進んでいますが、N700A系も引き続き現役で運行されています。富士川鉄橋を高速で駆け抜ける姿は、今なお東海道新幹線の魅力を象徴するシーンのひとつです。

This is a running shot of the Tōkaidō Shinkansen N700A series, photographed near the Fujikawa riverbed road in Nakanogō, Fuji City, Shizuoka Prefecture. The location is a well-known Shinkansen photography spot overlooking the Fujikawa Railway Bridge, where, under favorable conditions, it is possible to capture both Mount Fuji and the Shinkansen in a single frame.

The nearest station is Fujikawa Station on the Tōkaidō Main Line, making the area popular among railway enthusiasts and Shinkansen photographers. The N700A series Shinkansen seen in the photo was long operated by JR Central as a mainstay of the Tōkaidō Shinkansen, serving a wide range of train categories including Nozomi, Hikari, and Kodama.

With a maximum operating speed of 285 km/h, the N700A series achieved an excellent balance between high-speed performance and passenger comfort, earning its place as one of Japan’s most representative high-speed train models. Around 2021, these trains were a familiar sight on Tokyo–Nagoya–Osaka Shinkansen services, forming the backbone of high-frequency operations between Tokyo and Osaka.

Today, while the latest N700S series Shinkansen is being progressively introduced on the Tōkaidō Shinkansen, the N700A series remains in active service. The sight of an N700A train racing across the Fujikawa Railway Bridge continues to symbolize the enduring appeal of the Tōkaidō Shinkansen.
