The Script error: No such module "Nihongo"., branded as Script error: No such module "Nihongo". is a limited express train service in Japan operated by Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central), which runs between Template:STN and Template:STN via Template:STN.[1] Like all JR Central limited express trains, a limited express fee has to be paid, on top of the normal fare to ride this service.
Route
Trains start and terminate at Nagoya Station.
There was formerly a daily return service between Nagano and Ōsaka, which travelled a total distance of 274.1 miles (441.2 km) and took approximately 5 hours and 30 minutes. This made the Shinano the furthest travelling daytime limited express service in Japan prior to its discontinuation on 26 March 2016 due to declining passenger numbers. Some trains also ran seasonally to Template:STN, a service which has also stopped.
