Hello!
This is Kurama Tengu.
The other day, it was decided that the Hokuriku Shinkansen extension to Kyoto will stop at Katuragawa Station, didn’t it?
When it comes to Katuragawa Station, I guess the route from northern Kyoto would involve taking a train bound for Osaka from JR Kyoto Station, getting off at Katuragawa Station, and then transferring to the Hokuriku Shinkansen?

Well, it’s inconvenient. Can’t it help?
I heard this from a certain assembly member: if they could build another Hokuriku Shinkansen station somewhere around Uzumasa Tenjingawa, it would make a huge difference.

If that were the case, it would be incredibly convenient. If the Tozai Subway Line provided access to the Hokuriku Shinkansen station, people from the Yamashina area and Otu City could also use the Hokuriku Shinkansen, right?
I really hope this plan becomes a reality.
To the city officials in Kyoto, please make this happen! m(__)m
