| Summary | Between February 17 and 18, 2025, the China Transport Bureau conducted a safety audit of Aoi Techno Service Co., Ltd. (corporate number 5240001014202), headquartered in Hiroshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture. The audit identified issues requiring improvement, notably that the Asayama Gondola Lift had periods where the operator in the control room and the monitor in the observation room were absent.

The company was instructed to take corrective actions to ensure that operators and monitors do not leave their designated positions during operation, in accordance with Article 31, Paragraph 3 of the Ministerial Ordinance on Technical Standards for Cableway Facilities, and to implement necessary training as per Article 31, Paragraph 1 of the same ordinance. The company is required to report on the measures implemented by April 23, 2025. |
