Shinkansen - bullet trains - super express - These are all names for Japans high speed trains.
City - The Japanese term that this is translated from includes the surrounding countryside, often more like counties than cities.
Castle - usually a reconstruction from the 50's or 60's of a group of fortified buildings from the 16th or 17th century. If you are interested in history, pay attention to which parts of what you are seeing are actually old and which ones are recent reconstructions.
