The Kyushu Shinkansen resumed service between Kumamoto and Hakata on the 23rd, but repairs are still underway for the derailed train and damaged section about 1 kilometer south of Kumamoto Station. With Japan’s Golden Week holiday starting on the 29th, JR Kyushu is working hard to achieve full restoration by the 28th.
