Two years have passed since the partial opening of the Western Kyushu Shinkansen line, but the timing of the full opening of the line remains uncertain. This is because the national government insists that the line be built to the same "full standard" as the Tokaido Shinkansen and other lines, but Saga Prefecture is opposed to the idea, and the gap cannot be bridged. Some officials are concerned that the stalemate could have a negative impact on the local economy. Takeo Onsen Station (Takeo City, Saga Prefecture) on the Western Kyushu Shinkansen Line.
