JR Kyushu to Resume Kyushu Shinkansen Service Between Shin-Minamata and Kagoshima-Chuo from August 7
JR East Japan has opened an ‘In-station Snack’ inside Iwanuma Station on March 6.
This project is a collaboration between four companies: JR East Start Up, JR East Tohoku General Service, East Japan Railway Tohoku Headquarters, and INAC. It aims to address social issues such as declining regional populations and aging by providing a gathering place, creating community interaction, and revitalizing the area along the train line. The snack bar introduces a new concept without karaoke or tobacco during late night hours, featuring organized interactions among customers, service by hostesses and second masters, and a variety of event planning to foster multigenerational exchanges among community-oriented visitors and staff.
Operating hours are from 6 PM to 10 PM, Wednesday to Saturday.
