Central Japan Railway Company official channel

Welcome to JR Central's official YouTube channel!

We operate the Tokaido Shinkansen, which connects Japan's principle metropolitan areas of Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka.
Also, a network of 12 conventional line services have played a huge role in the development of regional economy, mainly around Nagoya and Shizuoka areas.

The Shinkansen, which started its service in 1964, was the world's first high-speed railroad, reaching speeds of over 200 km/h. It drastically expanded human interaction and greatly contributed to Japan's economic growth.
Now, we are steadily constructing the Chuo Shinkansen, using the Superconducting Maglev system. We are striving to re-create the dramatic lifestyle changes again in Japan, like as the Shinkansen once brought about.

In order to fulfill our philosophy of "Contribute to the development of Japan's main transportation artery and social infrastructure", we continue to refine our transportation services, with a sense of pride and mission in mind.
