Japan's bullet trains are known for their speed, safety and punctuality, but the "shinkansen" service saw a delay this week thanks to an unwelcome animal passenger.
A commuter traveling on a train between Nagoya and Tokyo spotted a 40-centimeter snake on board.
While dogs, cats and even small animals like pigeons are allowed to accompany passengers, snakes aren't, and it is not clear how the serpent found itself on the train. #snakes#Japan#trains
