Tohoku shinkansen bullet train, between Morioka and Tokyo
Tohoku shinkansen bullet train services resumed Wednesday morning after a suspension between Morioka in northeastern Japan and Tokyo due to a power outage, their operator said.
The blackout occurred between Shinshirakawa and Fukushima stations in northeastern Japan at around 5:50 a.m. JR East said a dispatched official had found a fallen tree and it was removed.
Services resumed at around 9:20 a.m.
The suspension of services initially covered the section between Omiya Station near Tokyo and Sendai Station, but it was expanded later.
