Admin’s Note

The news that construction of the Shizuoka section of the Linear Chuo Shinkansen is approaching is very significant for the region. In particular, the resolution of environmental issues is a positive step forward. However, it is crucial to consider the impact on the environment. While there are hopeful voices, like that of Chako, I feel it is essential to engage in thorough discussions about how the development of the linear line will affect the local community. I look forward to the progress ahead.
