Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism issues “supervision order” to JR Hokkaido, demanding efforts to improve management. We plan to provide a total of over 100 billion yen in support over the three years starting in fiscal 2024.

I would like to view the next three years as the last opportunity to resolve issues and work to create a system for sustainable transportation services. JR HokKaido President Watanuki said, ``We take the supervisory orders seriously and will continue to work on improving our management with unwavering determination.''
