If anyone is reading this and is planning trips headed south (West) of Tokyo, the earthquake this morning really screwed up the shinkansen. Be aware of possible delays. I had the misfortune to be using it from Tokyo to Nagoya today. It is really strange to be sitting on that kind of train and moving about as fast as a bicycle. Or sitting stopped for 40 minutes.
Hopefully the backlog of peole trying to get places will clear up soon..... but the stations were a mess. The JR folks were not happy campers.
best,
