Tokushima, Jun 09, 2026 –
A slope collapse alongside the JR Dosan Line between Tsubojiri and Hashikura stations in Tokushima Prefecture, detected after a rockfall warning system was activated within the early hours of June eighth, has pressured the suspension of practice companies with no timetable but established for the restoration of operations.
As a consequence, JR Shikoku has suspended all practice companies between Kotohira Station in Kagawa Prefecture and Awa-Ikeda Station in Tokushima Prefecture since June eighth. Limited specific Nanpu companies working on the route have been partially canceled, and alternative buses are transporting passengers by way of the affected part.
Rail operators haven’t but decided when companies can resume, and the suspension will stay in impact on June tenth as restoration work and security inspections proceed.
