Abstract

The Hokuriku Shinkansen will open in March 2024 on a section between Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture and Tsuruga City, Fukui Prefecture. A mail survey of 1,200 Tsuruga residents was conducted six months prior to the opening of the Shinkansen. Although the response rate was only 20%, the survey revealed that nearly 80% of the citizens welcome the opening of the Shinkansen, and that they have high expectations for the promotion of tourism, development of the area around the station, and improved access to and from Tokyo, Ishikawa, and Toyama prefectures. On the other hand, many respondents view the local tourist attractions and the attractiveness of the central city area as limited, making it an issue to be addressed in the future. There is also a strong concern that the opening of the Shinkansen will weaken ties between Fukui Prefecture and the Kansai and Chukyo regions, as the limited express train service linking Fukui Prefecture with both regions will be shortened to Tsuruga and southward.
