Japan,The bullet train was invented by Hideo Shima. First Bullet Train runs between Osaka and Tokyo (Japan) in 1964. British scientists originally made it, and then they sold the designs to the Japanese government. Which later sold it as their own product. The concept was originally proposed by the Japanese Ministry of Transportation in the 1930’s. For a number of reasons the project was put on hold until after WWII.Trains with speeds of up to 100 mph (160 km/h) ran in Europe since 1933, but the definition of a “bullet train” is speed of 200 km/h.
