Tohoku Shinkansen bullet train services resumed between Tokyo Station and Morioka Station in northeastern Japan on Sunday after a suspension to remove an object hanging from a wire, the operator said.
Both lines heading to and from Tokyo were affected by the object found on a section in Fukushima Prefecture at around 6:40 a.m. Operations resumed at around 9 a.m., according to JR East.
In a separate development, Tokaido Shinkansen services were halted between Tokyo and Shin-Yokohama Station in nearby Kanagawa Prefecture at around 7:20 a.m. after an object was found on a wire.
Operations resumed about 20 minutes later after it was removed, according to JR Central.
