JR East Shinkansen reserved seats are scheduled to be released on May 27th at 16:49 on April 27th.
Due to the effect of the new coronavirus, the number of reserved seat reservations has dropped significantly, so JR East decided to suspend the release of reserved seats such as the Shinkansen after the 28th of next month.
The reserved seats will not be released until the 28th of next month on the Tohoku / Hokkaido Shinkansen, Akita, Yamagata, Joetsu, and Hokuriku Shinkansen, as well as the Chuo Line and Joban Line limited express trains.
According to JR East, the number of reserved seat reservations has dropped significantly as the infection with the new coronavirus spreads, and some trains may be suspended if continued use continues.
The reserved seats on the JR are usually released one month before the boarding date, but JR East decided to cancel the operation once and confirm the operation plan in the middle of next month based on the availability of the large holidays. We will announce the release date of trains and reserved seats.
JR East has already decided to cancel the temporary train scheduled to run next month, and it is planning to suspend the release of reserved seats such as the limited express "Odoriko" in June, and check the latest information on the website etc. I am asking you to do it.
