JR Central announced that due to the heavy rain caused by Typhoon No. 10, planned suspensions of the Tokaido Shinkansen will continue on August 31.
The stretch between Mishima and Nagoya Station will be canceled for the entire day due to the forecast of heavy rain and strong winds.
Currently, it is uncertain whether operations between Tokyo and Mishima Station will be possible, due to the impact of heavy rain. Depending on the weather and the results of inspections, it may be necessary to cancel operations for the entire day.
