Machine-translated summary — verify against original

On January 27, 2026, the Tohoku Regional Development Bureau conducted a safety audit of Nishiwaga Town. The audit revealed issues requiring corrective action. The town was instructed to take measures such as submitting notifications for amendments to the regulations governing ropeway facilities, which had been amended on December 25, 2014, but not properly notified as required by Article 4 of the relevant ministerial ordinance. Additionally, inspections under Article 5 of the same regulations, specifically disassembly inspections of grip devices, had not been performed. The town must carry out necessary inspections, ensure regular maintenance, and establish a system for planned inspections and maintenance, including advice from ropeway manufacturers, to prevent similar issues in the future. The corrective measures should be reported by April 23, 2026.
