Tohoku Shinkansen service to fully resume
SENDAI, Japan - Photo taken from a Kyodo News helicopter on April 27, 2011, shows the Hayabusa advanced model of the shinkansen (front) in the town of Rifu, Miyagi Prefecture. The bullet train service on the Tohoku Shinkansen Line between Sendai and Ichinoseki, which has been suspended in the wake of the March 11 earthquake and tsunami disaster, is scheduled to resume on April 29, linking Tokyo and Shin-Aomori for the first time since the suspension. As the Kyushu Shinkansen Line fully opened between Hakata and Kagoshima-Chuo on March 12, bullet train services will link Aomori at the northern tip of the Honshu main island, and Kagoshima at the southern tip of the southwestern main island of Kyushu, for the first time.
