Hello! Are the new timetables for the San’yo and Kyushu shinkansen available online yet, even in Japanese? Or will it still take time for it to come out? Thanks!
Hello,
Unfortunately it did not come out yet. I think it will come out around early February.
Japan Railway Kyushu released the tentative timetable after Mar 12. Please see one of my newest post.
