PROFILE |
 |
If you want to ride the rails into Tokyo, you could find yourself cruising at 168 mph aboard a bullet train operated by East Japan Railway, known as JR-East. The system carries more than 16 million passengers a day on 4,600 miles of track in eastern Honshu and the Tokyo area. Its intercity and regional lines make up more than 70% of the total network. JR-East's three "shinkansen" (bullet-train) lines connect metropolitan Tokyo with Morioka, Nagano, and Niigata. The company also has retailing, restaurants, and real estate development businesses. The Japanese government is considering privatizing the JR group of companies, which includes JR-East, West Japan Railway, and Central Japan Railway.
