Japan’s four major islands are covered by an extensive, reliable and very clean network of railways. About 70% of Japan’s railway network is owned and operated by the Japan Railways (JR). The JR Group is made up of six regional passenger railway companies, which are JR Hokkaido, JR East, JR Central, JR West, JR Shikoku, and JR Kyushu. Together they operate a nationwide network of urban, regional and interregional train lines, night trains and shinkansen (high speed bullet trains).
