A six-kilometer segment of the Kumagawa Railroad, spanning from Hitoyoshi Onsen Station to Higo Nishinomura Station, has officially resumed service. This reopening marks the completion of long-term repair efforts necessitated by severe flooding that struck the region six years ago. The restoration of this specific infrastructure link is a significant milestone for local transportation connectivity in Kumamoto Prefecture, effectively restoring the full operational capacity of the line after years of closure due to the extensive damage caused by the natural disaster.
