Due to heavy rain in the Tokyo-Chubu region, the direct bullet train service between Tokyo and Hakata stations was suspended on Wednesday, the operator said.
The rain hit parts of Shizuoka Prefecture, causing disruption to the Tokaido Shinkansen, which connects Tokyo with the cities of Yokohama, Nagoya and Osaka, according to Central Japan Railway Company.
The Tokaido Shinkansen resumed operation between Shin-Osaka and Tokyo at 2:10 p.m.
JR West, which is in charge of the western part of the through service, previously announced that it had resumed operation between Shin-Osaka Station and Hakata Station on the Sanyo Shinkansen.
