JR East Holds Pre-launch Ride Event for the Brand-New E8 Series on the Yamagata Shinkansen

JR East is hosting an event at the Yamagata Shinkansen Vehicle Center, where participants can ride the yet-to-be-deployed Yamagata Shinkansen E8 series.

The event, limited to 40 participants, will take place at the Yamagata Shinkansen Vehicle Center located in Yamagata City, Yamagata Prefecture. It will feature an interior tour of the 11th to 15th cars, allowing attendees to take uninterrupted photos inside the trains with automatic doors turned off, and experience destination displays and automatic announcements different from normal operation. Outside the train, participants will see unusual destination displays and have the opportunity to take commemorative photos with the train’s nose, which is normally not accessible.

The event will be held starting at 2:00 PM on December 13. The participation fee is 15,000 yen for a course that includes seating in the Green Car, and 12,000 yen for the regular car. Tickets can be purchased via the company’s e-commerce site, “JRE MALL Tickets”.
