Starting March 20, 2023, Car No.7 of some weekday Tohoku Shinkansen trains will offer "TRAIN DESK" service. TRAIN DESK cars are ordinary reserved seat cars intended to offer the ideal space for customers who wish to work or study during their time on board. All passengers are welcome to make use of these cars, but we request that when doing so, you refrain from speaking in a loud voice, engaging in conversation or otherwise making noise that might disturb other passengers.
