The project is expected to enhance scenic views and strengthen disaster resilience, particularly against typhoon-induced outages. On April 28, about 30 people, including Mayor Takashima and local residents, attended a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Local resident Azumi expressed hope that the improved landscape would attract more visitors to Shikanoshima, a historic site. <\/span><b>Source:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/fukuokacitypr\/posts\/1074742941363346?locale=ja_JP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fukuoka City<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \/<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www3.nhk.or.jp\/fukuoka-news\/20250428\/5010028020.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NHK<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-170721\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/fnn_shikanoshima-fukuoka_2025_cl.jpg?resize=1400%2C1050&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Fukuoka Completes Underground Power Line Project To Shikanoshima\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1050\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/fnn_shikanoshima-fukuoka_2025_cl.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/fnn_shikanoshima-fukuoka_2025_cl.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/fnn_shikanoshima-fukuoka_2025_cl.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/fnn_shikanoshima-fukuoka_2025_cl.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>Photo from Fukuoka City official facebook<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu news and events in English.
