both systems are excellent and the pioneers of their regions, but having rode both, i'd say the shinkansen.

The Shinkansen is better, but the maintenance on it is more difficult thanks to being a multiple-unit.

Shinkansen also uses more energy per passenger mile than TGV, but the cost of building the HSR rail is lower because TGV power cars are heavy as fuck while on Shinkansens, the weight is more evenly distributed out.

For high capacity long nonstop services, TGV
For lower capacity and multistep services, Shinkansen
For services that use conventional lines as well as the high speed line, Talgo.

Quoted By:

I think plenty of technological innovation in shinkansen is specifically tailored to Japanese geography as well as the people and its sentiment (things like that duckbill and kingfisher-shaped nose, active suspension and tilting system as well as the very Japanese way of digital/manual signalling mix) and this may or may not be needed by other countries.

So it all depends on the requirement actually. If the only purpose of the train is to connect cities with a very fast rail service and there's no settlements nearby the tracks, TGV is a more sensible choice. Shinkansen is only justified if the topography is more challenging and if there are plenty of tunnels that needed to be built near human settlements
