- When somebody mentions the Japanese railways, everyone thinks of bullet trains, their speed, or the so-called "pushers" or "oshiya" that literally cram people onto crowded trains.

These are of course interesting details about the Japanese rail system, however, as every time, we will try to give you a bit more - a comprehensive story about these fantastic railways from many different aspects. And we are free to say - the most comprehensive available.

In the beginning, we briefly spoke about the history of railways in Japan, starting with Japan’s first railway line, from Shimbashi in Tokyo to Yokohama, which was opened in 1872.

We also covered the development of the Japanese railway network, the creation of Japanese National Railways in 1949, and the high-speed revolution brought by Shinkansen. The first Shinkansen line (Tokaido Shinkansen) was built in 1964 as the world's first high-speed rail line, after which, in the period of few decades, six additional Shinkansen lines have been built.

Special attention has been paid to the absolutely stunning railway reform that has been carried out in Japan starting from 1987.

Finally, we discussed the effects of that reform, the current performance of Japanese railways, the finances, and of course, the safety and punctuality of Japanese trains!

If you want to know all about this great railway system, check out our video!

Enjoy!
