Kumamoto City and Kumamoto Prefecture have announced a policy of implementing a general ban on billboard advertising along the route of the Kyushu Shinkansen, on which full service is slated to begin next year. The ban is slated to come into effect next month. The governments want to preserve the natural scenery. It is uncommon in Japan for prohibitions of outdoor advertising along Shinkansen routes to take effect a year in advance.
