The Kagoshima Regional Economic Research Institute released the results of their study showing that the opening of the Kyushu Shinkansen this year has resulted in an economic benefit of 26.3 billion yen for the prefecture. They also reported a 14% increase in overnight lodgers from outside the prefecture. They also caution, however, that the number of lodgers will decline 2% next year as the novelty wears off.
