These are Mount Fuji and Shinkansen or bullet train.  These are symbols of Japan.
 Mt. Fuji is the highest mountain in Japan. It is 3776 meters above sea level.

 

When it is fine day, you could see Mt. Fuji from the window of the Shinkansen.

When you ride on the Sinkansen bound for Kyoto from Tokyo, you can see Mt. Fuji well on the right side, the mountain side.

If you ride on the Sinkansen bound for Tokyo from West Japan, you can see Mt. Fuji well on the left side, the mountain side, not on the ocean side.

 

You can see Mt. Fuji well near Shin-Fuji station, Shizuoka Prefecture.
