On February 17 and 18, 2026, safety audits were conducted on株式会社北志賀竜王. The audit results revealed issues requiring corrective action. The company is instructed to take measures including: establishing a system to accurately grasp on-site conditions, regularly verifying operational status, organizing issues, implementing necessary improvements, and strengthening safety management to ensure the feasibility of improvements. Specific issues include: 1. Unauthorized modification of the ropeway facility for descending passengers on the third pair lift at Ryuo Mountain summit, requiring procedures under Article 12 of the Railway Business Act (which applies mutatis mutandis to Article 38). The company must also take measures to prevent similar incidents. 2. Despite changing the special ropeway operation handling rules, the company did not notify the authorities. The company must confirm consistency between existing ropeway facilities and operation rules, follow procedures based on the Ministry Ordinance establishing technical standards for ropeway facilities, and take appropriate measures to prevent recurrence. The guidance was issued by the Hokuriku Shinetsu Transport Bureau.
