Each test measures the data rate for the download direction, i.e. from the server to the user computer, and the upload data rate, i.e. from the user's computer to the server. The tests are performed within the user's web browser or within mobile apps. As of 17 February 2024, over 52.3 billion Internet speed tests have been completed. [8]

The Earth Simulator in Yokohama was the world's fastest supercomputer in 2004, but 7 years later the K computer in Kobe became over 60 times faster.. Japan operates a number of centers for supercomputing which hold world records in speed, with the K computer being the world's fastest from June 2011 to June 2012, [1] [2] [3] and Fugaku holding the lead from June 2020 until June 2022.
The highest speed limit in Japan is 120 km/h (approximately 74.6 mph), which applies on sections of Shin-Tōmei Expressway (E1A) and Tōhoku Expressway (E4), and expressways in the Kantō Plain leading to Tokyo, [1] [2] although a speed limit of 120 km/h is planned to be introduced on some more expressways.
The default speed limit is 70 km/h (approximately 43.496 mph) on undivided expressways, while the speed limit on divided expressways is (unless a lower speed is posted) 120 km/h (approximately 74.56455 mph); the speed limit is, however, 100 km/h (approximately 62.13712 mph) for a bus with a GVWR over 3.5 t and a truck with a GVWR over 3.5 t and ...
Test runs have reached 443 km/h (275 mph) for conventional rail in 1996, and up to a world record 603 km/h (375 mph) for SCMaglev trains in April 2015. [7] The original Tokaido Shinkansen, connecting Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka, three of Japan's largest cities, is one of the world's busiest high-speed rail lines.
Along with the San'yō Shinkansen, it forms a continuous high-speed railway through the Taiheiyō Belt, also known as the Tokaido corridor. Opening in 1964, running between Tokyo and Shin-Ōsaka, it was the world's first high-speed rail line, [1] and it remains one of the world's busiest.
