Lokhu kudlula kuvumela izinsuku eziyi-14 ze ukuhamba okungenamkhawulo ezweni lonke.
Kodwa-ke, ngaphandle kokwenyuka kwentengo kumzila wesitimela wase-Japan, isidingo esinamandla kulindeleke ukuthi siqhubeke ngenxa yezinga lokushintshisana elivumayo le-yen kanye nokutheleka okuqinile kwezivakashi zakwamanye amazwe.
Kusukela kule nyanga, iminikelo yesitimela yaseJapan inwetshiwe ukuze ifake phakathi ukudlula kwesonto elilodwa nantathu kanye nenketho yekilasi lokuqala, ngaphezu kokudlula kwezinsuku eziyi-14.
Izinguquko zentengo yokudlula ujantshi wase-Japan zibonisa ukutholakala okukhushuliwe kwezindawo eziya kuzo izitimela, njengoba inethiwekhi ye-JR manje isihamba ngaphezu kuka-19,000 km (11,800 miles) ezweni lonke, uma kuqhathaniswa nalapho amanani angaphambilini ayebekwa lapho kunezindawo ezimbalwa oya kuzo.
Iqembu le-JR, elihlanganisa abaqhubi besitimela abayisithupha, linyusa amanani entengo yesitimela ngenxa yokunwetshwa kwezindawo zesitimela esinezinhlamvu kanye nokuntuleka kokulungiswa kwamaphasi okuthuthukiswa kwesistimu, njengokubhukha izihlalo ku-inthanethi namasango amathikithi azenzakalelayo.

Lawa maphasi amboza imigqa yasendaweni, izitimela ezihamba ngezinyawo, nezinye izikebhe kodwa azitholakali kubahlali base-Japan.
Naphezu kwezindleko eziphakeme zokudlula ujantshi wase-Japan, abahambi abaningi bakuthola kulula futhi kubiza kakhulu ukuhlola i-Japan, futhi nalabo abathenge amathikithi ngaphambi kokwenyuka kwentengo basawabheka njengakhangayo ngamanani amasha.
Ukwenyuka kwentengo kwakamuva kukajantshi kuyadlula Japan kungase kuholele abahambi abathile ukuthi bacabangele abathwali bezindleko eziphansi njenge-Jetstar ne-Peach ekuhambeni amabanga amade, njengoba izindleko zezindiza zingabiza ngokuphawulekayo kunamathikithi esitimela avamile, ngokusho komhlaziyi we-Bloomberg Intelligence u-Denise Wong.
