In order to promote the development of high-speed railway networks, a method is used to construct a provisional narrow-gauge Shinkansen standard new line, allowing trains to run at speeds of over 160km/h, even though the gauge is narrow. As of September 1997, this method is being used for the Itoigawa-Uozu and Isurugi-Kanazawa sections of the Hokuriku Shinkansen, and the Yatsushiro-Nishi-Kagoshima section of the Kyushu Shinkansen. The Seikan Tunnel was also built to standards that allowed Shinkansen trains to run, but it opened in 1988 with only narrow-gauge tracks, and trains there have been running at 140km/h since 1991.
