Japan's Shinkansen Trains to Implement Full Smoking Ban
All Shinkansen trains operated by JR Tokai, JR West Japan, and JR Kyushu will gradually eliminate smoking rooms starting next spring.

According to News On Japan, starting from spring next year, all Shinkansen trains operated by JR East, JR West, and JR Kyushu will gradually eliminate smoking rooms, implementing a complete smoking ban throughout the entire journey.

 

After the removal of smoking rooms, the freed spaces will be used to store emergency drinking water of 500 milliliters for passengers. As smoking rooms have been eliminated on all other lines, including JR East, Japan's entire Shinkansen network will soon become completely smoke-free.
