I heard about the efforts of Narita Airport Company, which has continued to make efforts.

The construction of the section of the Linear Chuo Shinkansen in Shizuoka Prefecture has not been approved by the prefecture due to concerns about the impact on water resources such as the Oi River, and the opening period may be affected.

In addition to JR Tokai and Narita Airport Company executives, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's Railway Bureau staff participated in the study session.

According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, the Narita Airport Company established a specialized department called “Regional Coexistence Department” in order to obtain local understanding through land acquisition and noise problems, and repeated briefing sessions to the local community. This means that we have installed five counters around the airport and have received consultations on noise and other matters.

Mr. Mamoru Uno, vice president of JR Tokai, said after the study session, “I heard that we have communicated from various angles and have established long-term relationships of trust with the local community. I commented "I want."

In addition, the Director of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Satoshi Mizushima said, “It ’s important to always remember the humble feelings and face the local community. There is a fear. "
