JR Kyushu reported a 6 billion yen operating loss in 2022 for train lines with fewer than 2,000 average daily riders. The decline is largely attributed to a decreasing local population and the impact of COVID-19. However, there are signs of recovery in tourist areas and on the Kyushu Shinkansen, where revenue and ridership have shown notable increases. Source: JR Kyushu / Nikkei
