Japan Rail Disruptions 11th March 2011

Due to the earthquake that took place in Japan earlier, Tokyo's Narita Airport was closed temporarily but can be expected to re-open in the near future. Tokyo's Haneda Airport was re-opened partially a few hours after the earthquake. Sendai Airport was hit by the tsunami and is likely to remain closed for some time to come.

Many shinkansen and train lines in Eastern Japan were stopped and remain out of service or have delays. It would not be surprising if some shinkansen lines in northeastern Japan remained out of service for a couple of days, especially the Tohoku Shinkansen. However, it does not seem that any shinkansen line suffered any major damage. The Tokaido Shinkansen between Tokyo and Osaka has already resumed operation.
