Netherlands to Present Pavilion with ‘Common Ground’ Experience – Exclusive Miffy Goods at Osaka-Kansai Expo 2025
The Linear Railway Museum operated by JR Central will hold an event on December 27th titled “Goodbye 2024, Everyone Blows the 0 Series Shinkansen Whistle,” using the whistle of the 0 series Shinkansen as a substitute for the traditional New Year’s Eve bell.
For the first time, this event will be held on the last business day of the year, offering a unique alternative to the New Year’s Eve bell. It will start at 3 PM on December 27th, with around 108 participants. Registration will be on a first-come, first-served basis at the general reception inside the Linear Railway Museum.
Before the event starts, participants can enjoy a unique sight as the 0 Series Shinkansen’s front marker lights are switched to the rear marker lights. Please note that during the event, the continuous sound of the whistle will create a significant volume throughout the museum.
The museum notes that participation in this event does not guarantee the disappearance of worldly desires.
