KYOTO, Aug 08 (News On Japan) –
The Hokuriku Shinkansen extension to the Kansai area has proposed three potential websites for a brand new station in Kyoto: beneath JR Kyoto Station with an east-west alignment, beneath the south aspect of Kyoto Station with a north-south alignment, and close to JR Katsuragawa Station.
The full line is anticipated to generate an annual financial influence of roughly 2.7 trillion yen.
However, prolonged building intervals and rising prices have inflated the challenge price range to over 5 trillion yen. Additionally, there are considerations concerning the influence on groundwater as a result of underground station, significantly affecting areas like Fushimi identified for sake manufacturing.
The challenge faces challenges in convincing native residents of its advantages regardless of the elevated prices and potential environmental influence.
