The Kinki Railway And The Revival Of Nara

Japan's railway operation mode is divided into two kinds:state owned railways and private railways,which is the most striking feature of Japanese railways.Kinki Railway is Japan's privately-owned railway,and its operating range is mainly distributed in Kinki area.From the beginning of the railway laying,the Kinki Railway has experienced a series of development processes,such as the development of the line and the consolidation of the corporation,and eventually became the longest private Rail Corp in Japan with the largest operating scale.Kinki Railway referred to as kintetsu.It has a total length of 508.1 kilometers.It connects three historical capitals of Kyoto,Osaka and Nara.It is connected to the central city of Nagoya,and has a wide range of laying.At the same time,the historical and cultural relics,such as Fujiwara-Kyoto,ping cheng gong Nara,refractory palace and Ping An Jing,are the treasures of Japanese history and culture and a treasure house of sightseeing resources.From 1910 formally established the Nara rail up to 1944.The development process of Kinki railway is tortuous.A series of problems,such as shortage of funds,line disputes and backward technology,are developing together with the corporation.Nara is one of the birthplaces of culture and history in Japan.It plays a decisive role in the hearts of Japanese and is regarded as the "spiritual home" by Japanese nationals.From 710 to 794 years,Nara,as the capital of Japan,is the cradle of Japanese culture and art.But afterwards,Nara once slept.During World War II,Nara was spared the destruction of the war,but the economic development was very slow compared with the surrounding cities.Nara is located in the Japanese inland river shipping conditions are not developed,limiting the development of its economy.From the capital to the railway before laying,Nara is always in a state of decline.Until the advent of the railway,the Nara city appeared a new impetus to the development.The railway has improved the traffic conditions in Nara,and the rapid development of the population has led to a new peak.The abundant labor force further promoted the economic development of the city and the rise of all walks of life.At the same time,the relationship with the surrounding cities has deepened and the metropolitan area has gradually formed and developed more closely.On the other hand,the rise of the city has played a reverse role in promoting the development of the railway.Nara' s economic and urban development has enabled Kinki Railway Corporation to continuously upgrade its internal structure and improve its railway network,to become the largest private railway in Japan,and to provide more power and support for Nara's urban development.This article,beginning with the prosperous history of the ancient capital Nara,focuses on the relationship between the railway and the development of Nara in the middle of the twentieth Century.From the development of Nara city itself,the development of the Kinki Railway Corporation,the development of Nara and Osaka City Circle,and the Nara tourism industry,these four aspects to discuss the contact with Nara and Kinki railway,and analyzes the interaction between the railway and the city and the significance of the coordinated development.
