Uki

The area was severely damaged in the massive earthquake in July.

The twenty-five-kilometer section of the JR Kagoshima main line runs through Uki City and Hikawa Town, which registered an intensity of seven on the Japanese seismic scale of zero to seven.

The rail operator says damage caused by strong tremors in more than four hundred and sixty locations included deformed railway tracks and the collapse of poles supporting overhead cables.

The completion of recovery work brings the entire line back into service.

The area was severely damaged in the massive earthquake in July.

The 25-kilometer section of the JR Kagoshima main line runs through Uki City and Hikawa Town, which registered an intensity of seven on the Japanese seismic scale of zero to seven.

The rail operator says damage caused by strong tremors in more than 460 locations, including deformed, included deformed railway tracks and the collapse of poles supporting overhead cables.

The completion of recovery work brings the entire line back into service.

The disaster demonstrated the continuing challenge for Japan, which is dealing with active faults nationwide, including those directly beneath major cities.

In the quake, which claimed 38 lives, the city of Uki in Kumamoto Prefecture recorded a maximum intensity of 7 on the Japanese seismic scale.

Katsuhiko Goto, an associate professor of engineering at the National Institute of Technology, Kumamoto College, who is knowledgeable about building structures, visited a community in Uki, Kumamoto Prefecture, at the foot of a mountain in late August.

Godo quickly discovered that the reinforced concrete main hall of Npukuji Temple had risen off the ground while remaining level.

The land had sunk one meter on one side due to a vertical displacement of the Hainagu fault zone, which is considered the source of the recent earthquake.
