Shinkansen Trial Run to Kanazawa


Recommended Posts

there was a lot of TV coverage early last week and interviews with passengers. I did see some E7s at Nagano...looks like they can't wait to get going. Also Hokkaido services are being heavily promoted all over the Island too! It was interesting to see the amount of work going on, We travelled from Hakodate to Aomori and on to Nagano last Thursday.

Am I mistaken, or are these the timetables for the Hokuriku Shinkansen published on JR East reservation page?

Kagayaki, Hakutaka & Asama services are there, it also says from 14th March Nagano Shinkansen will be switched to Hokuriku Shinkansen Line..

Yes, but being a JR East website, the schedule details are up to Joetsu Myoko Station only, this is where the administrative boundary between JR East and JR West is located (the station itself is managed by JR East).

 

An actual full schedule Tokyo-Kanazawa is this one, in Japanese only (the eleventh and twelth pages):

JR Kyushu has their timetables up also. JR West in their train and timetable finder have the W7/E7 shinkansen services between Kanazawa and Tokyo.

 

Tokyo to Kanazawa in 154 minutes. Wowzers!!!

The Next Station Is...

Tickets on the first public Hokuriku Shinkansen service sold out in 25 seconds of going on sale (spotted at Japan Today). Wowzers!
