Japan's Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and Japan Innovation Party (JIP) have decided to extend the Hokuriku Shinkansen line through Kyoto, according to a joint decision by the two parties.
The extension will span approximately 139 kilometers and pass through eastern Kyoto Prefecture. The project will include a dedicated stop near Kyoto Station, integrating the new line with the prefecture's existing rail infrastructure.
The extension project is expected to require approximately 26 years to complete from the point of decision.
