Japan Railways, commonly known as JR, is a group of companies responsible for operating the majority of rail services in Japan. This organization was established in 1987 after the privatization of the National Railways, which had previously managed the country’s rail network. The Japan Railways Group consists of several regional companies that provide passenger and freight services across the archipelago. Key aspects of Japan Railways include the extensive Shinkansen (bullet train) network, which is known for its speed, punctuality, and safety, as well as local train services that connect urban and rural areas.
