JR West Kansai Line service halted between Izumisano and Wakayama after fallen tree

A fallen tree was discovered on the JR West Kansai Line between Izumisano and Wakayama stations, prompting the suspension of train operations on the segment from Izumisano to Wakayama. Replacement bus services have been arranged for affected passengers. Railway officials expect the line to reopen around 08:20 local time, with updates to be posted on station notice boards and the operator’s website.

The disruption is limited to the specified section of the line, and normal service is expected to resume once the obstruction is cleared and safety checks are completed.
