In response to the approach of Typhoon No. 10 in JR West, we decided to temporarily drive the “Hikari” going up from Hakata to Shin-Osaka in the evening of 14th in order to cancel the operation on the 15th.

With the approach of Typhoon No. 10, JR West decided to cancel the Sanyo Shinkansen operation all day on the upper and lower lines between Shin-Osaka and Kokura on the 15th.

Between Kokura and Hakata, it means that the number of trains is reduced to about one per hour for both the upper and lower lines.

In order to stop driving on the 15th on a large scale at JR, we will temporarily drive one “Hikari” going from Hakata to Shin-Osaka on the evening of the 14th.

In addition, we decided to cancel 15 days of driving on Okayama, Hiroshima and all conventional lines in Yamaguchi Prefecture all day.
