It's the end of the line for 300 series shinkansen trains.
News On Japan reported:
About 1,000 train enthusiasts gathered on the platform at Tokyo Station at 10:47 on Friday morning to see off the last 300 series shinkansen service for Shin-Osaka.
JR Tokai said the 300 series trains will be retired and replaced with more energy-efficient models for the Tokaido and Sanyo lines.
The 300 series was introduced in 1992. My first shinkansen ride was on a 300 series train from Tokyo Station to Atami in 2001.
