Minatomirai Line Begins Pilot Project for Boarding with Touch Payment and QR Codes Starting December 4
Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central) has announced that due to the effects of Typhoon 10, the Tokaido Shinkansen will suspend operations for the entire day on August 30 between Mishima and Nagoya stations.
Between Tokyo and Mishima stations, and between Nagoya and Shin-Osaka stations, a temporary “Kodama” service stopping at every station will operate approximately two trains per hour in each direction, with all ordinary cars as unreserved seating. Direct operations connecting to the Sanyo Shinkansen will also be suspended for the entire day.
From August 31 to September 2, there is a possibility that operations may be suspended or cancelled for extended periods across the entire line or certain sections.
