☆ Now One Fast Train From Tokyo: Culture, Crafts and Hot Springs
  + stars: | 2024-05-17 | by ( Hannah Kirshner | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Three of these towns — Katayamazu Onsen, Yamashiro Onsen and Yamanaka Onsen — are famous for their onsen, or hot springs. Japanese tourists still flock to Kaga’s onsen towns every fall, when the leaves turn fiery and snow crab is in season. But few foreigners find their way here, in part because the journey from Tokyo has not been easy. A new extension of the Hokuriku Shinkansen, the high-speed train that rockets passengers from Tokyo to this region, now includes a stop at Kagaonsen station. The trip takes less than three hours on a single train.

☆ Residents Ask for a Full Examination of Damage to a Japanese Nuclear Plant Caused by a Recent Quake
  + stars: | 2024-02-02 | by ( Associated Press | Feb. | At A.M. | ) www.usnews.com   time to read: +4 min
Two idled reactors at Shika nuclear power plant on the Noto Peninsula in Ishikawa suffered power outages because of damage to transformers. All Japanese nuclear power plants were temporarily shut down after the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster for safety checks under stricter standards. They are asking officials to freeze the screening process while damage at the Shika nuclear plant is fully examined and safety measures are implemented. Nuclear safety officials have noted that the extensive damage suffered by houses and roads in the area of the Shika plant make current evacuation plans largely unworkable. Hundreds of other residents of towns hosting nuclear plants submitted similar requests to regulators and Prime Minister Fumio Kishida earlier this week.

Zeci de curse aeriene dinspre și înspre regiuni de coastă de la Marea Japoniei au fost deja anulate, deşi se aşteaptă ca numărul călătorilor să scadă semnificativ pe perioada Anului Nou din cauza pandemiei de Covid-19. Potrivit prognozei Agenţie Meteorologice din Japonia, ninsori abundente se vor produce în nordul și estul Japoniei, precum și în regiunile de coastă de la Marea Japoniei, începând de miercuri și continuând pe parcursul săptămânii. Pentru regiunea Hokuriku, sunt prognozate cantităţi de 80 de centimetri de zăpadă şi până la 50 de centimetri pentru estul şi nord-estul Japoniei într-un interval de 24 de ore până joi dimineaţă, a mai precizat agenţia. La mijlocul lunii decembrie, peste 2.000 de vehicule au rămas blocate din cauza ninsorii timp de două zile pe o autostradă din prefectura Niigata, la nord-vest de Tokyo.
