Violation

Between August 27 and 29, 2025, the Akita Prefectural Transport Bureau conducted a safety audit of Yurihonjo Railway Co., Ltd. (corporate number 2410001005244), headquartered in Yurihonjo City, Akita Prefecture. The audit revealed deficiencies requiring corrective action. Specifically, it was confirmed that the facility manager did not recognize the necessity of the special general inspection for the Maesuyama Tunnel as stipulated in Article 61 of the Track and Civil Engineering Maintenance Standards, and the inspection had not been carried out. The company is instructed to formulate an inspection plan for the Maesuyama Tunnel, ensure the inspection is conducted, and record the condition developments in a deformation diagram. Additionally, the company must review and improve its management system to ensure proper compliance with laws and standards in future tunnel maintenance. Furthermore, it was confirmed that some roof inspections of vehicle bodies, as required by the Vehicle Inspection Standards, were not performed. The company must take necessary measures to ensure thorough inspections and proper management. The company is required to report on the implementation of these measures by March 3, 2026. The guidance emphasizes the importance of investigating the root causes of issues, preventing recurrence, and ensuring the safe operation of transportation services.
