Ocean arrow: Is it still operating?

[Steve4031]

I am thinking of another trip to Japan. As I perused the internet for ideas, the Ocean arrow was suggested because the potential  of a driver's eye view and the excellent scenery.  I did a quick look on hyperdia, but it looks like this actually requires a connections.

Ocean Arrow was discontinued in 2012 according to wiki.

The 283 series (Ocean Arrow) is used on Kuroshio 1, 13, 21 & 33, as well as 4, 16, 24 & 32.

The green panorama car is located on the Shingu bound end of the train.

 

I rode Kuroshio 1 in January and I can absolutely recommend it! The Scenery is amazing.

Not quite. The named service was discontinued, but the trainsets with the same name (the 283 series) run in the Kuroshiro service.
