Japan infrastructure recovery after Noto Peninsula disaster

Overview

Recovery efforts for roads and railways continue across various regions in Japan following natural disasters. In Aizawaso Town, the prefecture announced it would take over the reconstruction of the Nakamura Chohira Line, which suffered 19 instances of landslides and collapses due to heavy rains, with repair costs estimated at approximately 450 million yen.

In Toyama Prefecture, the Kurobe Gorge Railway has resumed full-line operations between Unazuki Station and Keyakidaira Station. This marks the first time in approximately two and a half years that the entire line has been operational following track damage caused by the Noto Peninsula Earthquake. While the full route is now functional, allowing access to autumn foliage, some restoration work continues around Keyakidaira Station, limiting access to the station and the nearby visitor center.
