Summary	Between October 14-16 and November 4-6, 2025, the Shizuoka District Transport Bureau conducted a safety audit of Oigawa Railway Co., Ltd. (corporate number 1080001013422), headquartered in Shimada City, Shizuoka Prefecture. The audit revealed several issues requiring improvement, including: 1.

Regular inspections per Article 41 of the Civil Engineering Standards (Implementation Standards) revealed that: - Divergence in switch track alignment exceeding standards was not corrected. - Excessive clearance in track gauge was not addressed. - Platform at Kawane Onsen Sasamada Station was not repaired despite obstructing the building limit. The company must promptly carry out necessary maintenance, ensure proper facility management, and establish a system for compliance. 3.
