JR Central Unveils New “Supreme Class” Private Rooms on Tokaido–Sanyo Shinkansen
Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central) will install elevators inside the North Ticket Gate of the Tokaido Shinkansen Shinagawa Station in Tokyo, Japan.
Development of the North Exit station plaza is scheduled for fiscal year 2027, and passenger flow at the Tokaido Shinkansen Shinagawa Station is expected to change accordingly. In response, and to further improve convenience for users, an elevator will be installed on the Tokyo-bound side inside the North Ticket Gate.
Two elevators will be installed in total: one connecting the concourse level with the platform level for northbound trains, and one connecting the concourse level with the platform level for southbound trains. Elevators (two in total) have already been installed inside the South Ticket Gate.
Construction will begin in July, with the elevators scheduled to go into service at the end of fiscal year 2027.
