JR East has announced a policy to carry out pruning and felling of trees along railway lines to protect train operations from natural disasters such as strong winds and snowfall, as well as from fallen trees caused by weakened trees.

When fallen trees occur on the tracks, removal and restoration of facilities and vehicles are necessary, which takes a long time until operations can resume, potentially causing inconvenience to passengers and residents along the line.
