This paper examines how the perception of the limits of technology has been updated with case of the Tokaido Shinkansen. In considering the limits of technology, the technology frame is used for analysis. The limits of technology were classified into pure technologist limits and policy technologist limits. The pure technologist's limit is the recognition of the limits at the research stage, and the policy technologist's limit is the recognition at the stage of actual introduction into the operation. The factors that impose and renew the limits of each technology were identified.
