Kameyama City Proposes Three Areas for a Station on the Central Linear Shinkansen Line


October 07, 17:56

On October 7, Kameyama City, which is a candidate site for an intermediate station between Nagoya and Osaka, proposed three specific areas for the location of a station on the Linear Central Shinkansen, which is being built by JR Central as a next-generation transportation artery connecting Tokyo and Osaka.

The Linear Central Shinkansen, which is being constructed by JR Tokai, is planned to be extended to Osaka after the opening of the line between Shinagawa and Nagoya, and in January this year, an alliance formed by Mie Prefecture and others decided that Kameyama City would be the candidate site for the intermediate station between Nagoya and Osaka.

Following this decision, Kameyama City proceeded to select a specific location for the intermediate station, and proposed three areas as candidate sites at the general meeting of the alliance held in Tsu City on October 7.

The three areas are the central area of the city including the Kameyama Interchange of the Tomeihan Expressway and JR Kameyama Station, the southeastern area of the city including JR Shimosho Station, and the eastern area of the city including JR Idagawa Station.

The alliance will decide on the final candidate site from the three proposed areas and propose it to JR Tokai by next summer. Governor Ikki, who attended the general meeting, said, "Even I, a native of Kameyama, can understand why this is a candidate site. Yoshiyuki Sakurai, mayor of Kameyama City, said, "After more than a quarter of a century of activities to attract the project, I am deeply moved once again, and I hope the project will open as soon as possible.

Land prices rise due to Maglev Station in Kameyama City

Unread post by Eurorapid »

The average land prices in Kameyama City increased from the previous year in both residential and commercial areas. This might be due to the redevelopment of the area in front of JR Kameyama Station and expectations that the city will host an intermediate station for the Linear Central Shinkansen Line.
