FAQ
Yes, Japan has a very extensive rail network covering much of the country. It is also a good way to see and experience Japan.
Yes, 99% of the time trains run on time to the minute, even outside of the urban areas. Delays can occur but usually they are only a few minutes.
Absolutely, there is much more!
In fact for most local rail fans, the shinkansen is of least interest as there is so much more, from old (SL, older rolling stock) to very modern (Maglev, modern and intensive urban networks).
There is also lots of variety. As well as the shinkansen and the Yamanote Line there are extensive urban networks run by numerous companies, Steam Locomotives, trams, monorail and other “alternative systems, freight, rural lines and many interesting trains. Japan also has several big railway museums.
Japan is a rail enthusiasts paradise!
TSJR offers a wealth of local knowledge and insights, derived from extensive experience and access to all the necessary local information.

Yes we can. We have helped organize a big tour for one of the UK’s largest rail enthusiast societies and we have been involved in organizing tours for another rail enthusiast organization. We will usually work with a local travel agent so that we can provide a complete package.
Being local we can make organizing group tours much easier as we would look after the local arrangements, as well as providing our local knowledge and experience to ensure that your tour meets its objectives (even helping to determine those objectives).
