JR East Suspends Services on Tohoku Area Lines Due to Earthquake on December 8
Japan Railways (JR) Group companies will implement a timetable revision on March 14, 2026. For the overnight sleeper limited express trains “Sunrise Seto” and “Sunrise Izumo,” the departure time of the westbound service from Tokyo Station will be moved 24 minutes earlier to secure more time for nighttime maintenance work.
Currently, the train departs at 9:50 p.m., but after the revision it will depart at 9:26 p.m. Departure times at Yokohama, Atami, Numazu, Fuji, Shizuoka, and Hamamatsu stations will also be moved forward by 18 to 26 minutes respectively. There will be no changes to the schedule after Hamamatsu. The timetable for the eastbound trains will also remain unchanged and will continue to operate at the same times as before the revision.
