On July 6, 2024, a major power outage on the Tokaido Shinkansen line in Shizuoka Prefecture caused disruptions, with the upbound line between Shin-Osaka station and Tokyo station completely halted and the downbound line from Tokyo to Nagoya temporarily suspended and later resumed. Passengers complained of waiting for 1.5 hours in hot and dark carriages with non-functional toilets, before the full line resumed operation after 3 PM. The incident caused significant delays impacting weekend travelers, prompting frustrations and complaints on social media.
