The Tohoku Shinkansen Yamabiko No. 53 (from Tokyo to Morioka), running in Tochigi Prefecture, was stopped due to a possible problem with a pantograph at around 9:40 a.m. Wednesday. Another pantograph was subsequently installed.
The operation of the Tohoku Shinkansen line had been suspended between Tokyo and Sendai stations, due to pantograph inspections at Nasu-Shiobara Station. But it was resumed at around 1:10 p.m.
