Who keeps this ledger
Name, street address, and phone are public so you can see who writes the notes.
The person
I am Natasha Rimsky. I write The Shinkansen Ledger as a hobby from a desk at 257-281 Water Street, New York, NY 10038-1734, United States. I have ridden Tokyo–Hakata, Sendai–Hiroshima, and the Hokuriku cut at Tsuruga more than once. I keep the parts that pamphlets skip: which desk a resident uses, where a foreign card dies on 3-D Secure, and how to tell an early-bird seat from a regular reserved seat.
What this site does
I publish free unofficial notes. I am not Japan Railways and not an agent. I do not sell tickets. The contact form is not a checkout and not a lead form for a paid guide. Hosting is paid with donations, which I explain on the Donate page. If a paragraph is wrong, write me. I would rather correct the ledger than pretend it is a shop.
