JR Chuo Line service had been suspended on both tracks between Shinryo and Toki City due to a personal injury accident at Kōzōji Station, but resumed shortly after 1:15 PM.

JR Chuo Line

The JR Chuo Line is a major east-west railway line in Tokyo, Japan, operated by the East Japan Railway Company (JR East). Its history dates back to 1889 when its central section opened, becoming a vital corridor for commuting and freight. Today, it is especially famous for its rapid service connecting Tokyo Station with the western suburbs, passing through major hubs like Shinjuku.

Shinryo

“Shinryo” (神陵) is a Japanese term meaning “divine mausoleum” or “sacred tomb,” most famously referring to the **Shinryō-in** (神陵域), the imperial tomb precinct in Kyoto. It is the burial site of Emperor Kōmei (1831–1867), the last emperor to reign entirely from Kyoto before the capital moved to Tokyo. The site reflects the deep Shinto traditions of venerating imperial ancestors and marks a pivotal transition in Japanese history.

Toki City

Toki City, located in Gifu Prefecture, Japan, is internationally renowned as a major center for high-quality ceramic production, particularly its high-grade Mino ware (Mino-yaki). Its history in pottery dates back over 1,300 years, flourishing especially during the Azuchi-Momoyama period (late 16th century) with the rise of the tea ceremony. Today, it is home to numerous kilns and the modern Toki City Ceramic Cultural Park (Cerapark), which celebrates and continues this deep ceramic heritage.

Kōzōji Station

Kōzōji Station is a railway station located in the city of Tokorozawa, Saitama Prefecture, Japan, on the Seibu Ikebukuro Line. It opened in 1925 and is named after the nearby historic Kōzō-ji temple, which dates back to the early 14th century. The station primarily serves as a commuter hub for residents and provides access to local parks and the temple grounds.
