| Summary | Between November 20 and 22, 2023, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism conducted a safety audit of Ishizuchi Mountain Ropeway Co., Ltd. under the Railway Business Act and related regulations. The audit revealed that the company had not fully conducted conformity inspections for the Aruyama Triple Lift and the Aruyama Pair Lift, and that some inspection records contained inaccuracies or unnecessary information. Additionally, discrepancies were found between the latest construction plans submitted to the Shikoku Transport Bureau and the actual ropeway facilities, indicating the need for procedural updates. The company is instructed to promptly carry out the necessary inspections, review and correct inspection records, and ensure that any modifications to the ropeway facilities follow proper legal procedures. The company must report on the corrective actions taken by January 29, 2024. |
