      Several rural rail lines in West Japan that have been closed due to torrential rain and landslides are in jeopardy of never reopening. Already unprofitable on their own (but part of the overall-profitable JR West system), the high cost of reconstruction may be the breaking point.https://twitter.com/B_Leachtielu/status/1021730449406681091 …

      On the other hand, it looks like the government might step in and bear the costs of rebuilding: https://trafficnews.jp/post/81022  (all of this assumes I'm correctly understanding these articles, which is a big maybe)

          also in tangentially related good news, the Yufuin-no-Mori train is finally back on its original route--after spending over a year running detours due to natural disasters https://www.jrkyushu.co.jp/english/pdf/20180714_YufuinNews_english.pdf …

          I wonder if Japan could ever let in enough immigrants to keep rural population density from collapsing, orif they'd all end up in metro areas anyway.

          ya immigrants probably wouldn't be rushing to Japan for the countryside--for the same reasons the natives are leaving

          moreover, while there are some unfortunate tradeoffs (like decline of rural railways), I maintain it's an overall good trend for people to move to the cities and away from the country

          Yes, but tough to see all of that rural infrastructure (and boy have they loved investing in huge rural infrastructure projects) as just sunk costs.

          it's a tough pill to swallow but that's already what they are...worst offender I can think of is the Hakucho Bridge in Muroran

          not really, certainly not at a newspaper level--I relied on google translate and some common sense where the translation didn't seem coherent
