赴日本欣賞以破火山口聞名於世的阿蘇火山時，纜車是最主要的運輸工具，但因地震等因素纜車受損嚴重，火山活動又無緩和跡象，基於安全考量，業者24日宣布將停止重建計畫，61年的歷史就此畫下休止符。
根據西日本新聞，阿蘇山纜車於1958年通車營運，由前身為九州產業交通的九州產交旅遊公司負責經營。遊客自阿蘇山西側的登山巴士終點站上車後，只要4分鐘時間，即可抵達火山口附近，全長約858公尺。由於火山口景色相當懾人，觀光客絡繹不絕，全盛時期每年約有50萬人到訪。
但因全程有一半以上處於火山口方圓一公里內、不得靠近的火山噴發2級警戒區，纜車常常停駛。2016年熊本地震嚴重毀損纜車支柱，加上停駛期間，機械室屢遭火山氣體破壞，2014年8月之後即停駛至今。
原本業者打算更新所有設備，將車廂打造為強化玻璃車廂，並於今年5月開始施工希望2020年順利復駛，可惜天不從人願，之後火山活動無休止跡象，業者遲遲無法進入火山口方圓1公里內區域施工，加上重建完成後也無法確保營運上的安全，最後做出放棄重建決定。
日後將由接駁公車取代纜車服務。

When going to Japan to admire the Aso volcano, which is famous for its caldera, the cable car is the most important means of transportation. However, due to earthquakes and other factors, the cable car was severely damaged and there was no sign of easing volcanic activity. Based on safety considerations, the operator announced on the 24th that it would stop The reconstruction plan, the 61-year history draws a rest.
According to the Nishi-Nihon Shimbun, the Asoyama cable car opened to traffic in 1958 and was operated by the Kyushu Sankyo Travel Company, formerly Kyushu Industrial Transportation. After getting on the mountain bus terminal on the west side of Mount Aso, tourists can reach the vicinity of the crater in only 4 minutes, with a total length of about 858 meters. Due to the stunning scenery of the crater and the continuous flow of tourists, about 500,000 people visit each year during the heyday.
However, as more than half of the entire journey is within the volcanic eruption level 2 warning zone within one kilometer of the crater, the cable car often stops. The 2016 Kumamoto earthquake severely damaged the cable car pillars, and during the shutdown, the machine room was repeatedly damaged by volcanic gases. It has been suspended since August 2014.
The original operator intends to update all equipment, build the car into a strengthened glass car, and start construction in May this year, hoping for a smooth return to 2020, but unfortunately, the volcanic activity is unending, and the operator is unable to enter the crater. The area within 1 km of the construction, and after the completion of the reconstruction can not ensure the safety of operation, and finally made a decision to abandon the reconstruction.
The cable car service will be replaced by a shuttle bus in the future.

All 10 typhoon-flooded shinkansen bullet trains to be scrapped
KYODO NEWS - Nov 7, 2019 - 12:38 | All, Japan
TOKYO - All 10 Hokuriku Shinkansen bullet trains that were inundated in central Japan last month by floods triggered by Typhoon Hagibis will be scrapped due to severe damage, railway operators said.
East Japan Railway Co. owns eight of the 10, while the remaining two belong to West Japan Railway Co. The trains, totaling 120 cars, accounted for a third of the Hokuriku Shinkansen fleet and were flooded while parked at a train yard in Nagano city when the nearby Chikuma River burst its banks on Oct. 13.
JR East President Yuji Fukusawa told a news conference on Wednesday, "Some of the train components can be reused, but for stability and safety we have concluded it would be appropriate to replace the trains with newly built ones instead of repairing them."
JR East said it will carefully examine which train parts can be reused before deciding on the total amount to report as a special loss for the fiscal year ending March 2020. The book value of JR East's eight E7-series bullet trains totaled 11.8 billion yen as of the end of September.
Meanwhile, JR West said it plans to book a special loss of 3 billion yen for the fiscal year for its two W7-series bullet trains to be scrapped.
The Hokuriku Shinkansen Line, which runs between Tokyo and Kanazawa, is currently operating on a reduced schedule using the fleet’s remaining 20 trains, one newly built train, and one diverted from the Joetsu Shinkanesn Line's reserve trains.
The railway operators aim to introduce three more newly built trains by the end of March 2020 and restore the Hokuriku Shinkansen's pre-typhoon train schedule. "We aim to restore 100 percent of our services by the end of the current business year," JR East's Fukusawa said.
