Tokaido Shinkansen Faces Potential Suspension of Service from August 29 to 31 Due to Typhoon No. 10

JR East has updated its operational planning for the Tokaido Shinkansen due to the approach of Typhoon No. 10.

Due to the expected heavy rain and strong winds along the route following the approach and passage of the typhoon, there is a possibility that from August 29 to 31, there will be either a complete suspension or long-term operational pauses for the entire line or certain sections. Although operations are planned to be as per usual on August 27 and 28, there is a potential for long operational interruptions due to sudden weather changes.

Furthermore, it is anticipated that there will be a high number of passengers around the period before and after the planned suspension dates, specifically on August 28 and September 1. Passengers are encouraged to make seat reservations in advance when coming to the station and making their journeys.

JR East advises passengers to pay close attention to future weather forecasts and the operational status of trains, and to consider changing their plans accordingly. Tickets valid from August 27 to 31 will be changed or refunded without a fee.
