自2011年以来，日本的入境旅游继续以指数级速度增长。越来越多的外国游客进入该国将使更多的人面临自然灾害的风险。因此，2018年，日本国土交通省（MLIT）开始敦促铁路运营商考虑在发生地震和海啸时的旅游安全规划。尽管如此，报告显示，铁路运营商在为游客制定和采取灾害应对措施方面仍然遇到困难。在本研究中，作者通过采访日本各地的10家铁路公司，探讨了铁路公司面临的障碍。通过利用一个框架，审查关键变量，可以有助于提高铁路旅游弹性，作者能够确定的地区，铁路运营商似乎是合理的，充分准备的灾害事件，和其他人的准备，他们目前的状态似乎有限。最后，从公司的经验分享中，作者确定了八个有助于加强弹性的领域，并提出了自己的其他一些建议。
Since 2011, Japan's inbound tourism continues to grow at an exponential pace. The increasing number of foreign visitors into the country will expose more people to the risk of natural hazards. As a result, in 2018 the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) started urging rail operators to consider planning for tourism safety in the event of an earthquake and tsunami. Despite this, reports indicate that rail operators continue to experience difficulties in developing and adopting disaster counter-measures for tourists. In the present research the authors explored the obstacles that rail companies face, by interviewing ten rail companies throughout Japan. By utilizing a framework that examined key variables that can contribute to improved railway tourism resiliency, the authors were able to identify areas where rail operators appear to be reasonably well prepared for a disaster event, and others were their current state of preparedness appears limited. Finally, from the shared experiences of the companies the authors identified eight areas that can help to strengthen resiliency based, and make some other recommendations of their own.
