Traveling by train in Japan
Japan boasts a highly developed rail system, making it an incredibly practical mode of transportation for both locals and visitors. As a result, many people find themselves using trains almost every day, whether it's their local lines or the renowned Shinkansen bullet trains. For those visiting Japan for the first time, the significance of train travel during their stay is likely to be a consideration.
Although train travel is a common aspect of life in Japan, there are several factors that first-time travelers should be aware of or prepare for before they board. This is true even for those coming from countries where train travel is already a significant part of the culture.
What makes trains so popular in Japan?
Japan's rail system is regarded as one of the finest globally. Riding the train in Japan can be described in three words: efficient, fast, and clean. Until you experience it firsthand, it can be hard to grasp just how easy and remarkably convenient train travel is in Japan. Even with millions of passengers using the system daily, trains remain impeccably clean, punctual, and well-maintained. For many, this may seem like a dream compared to the train services in their own countries.
There are numerous factors contributing to this remarkable railway system, but it primarily stems from Japan's dependence on fossil fuel imports, which led the nation to invest significantly in its train transportation network. Since the late 1800s, Japanese train companies have been constructing lines to transport people and goods efficiently from one location to another, and as a result of this extensive network, cities began to develop around train stations. While much of Western urban development has centered on car-oriented infrastructure, Japan has largely shaped its urban expansion around train stations. In most Japanese cities, you will find that train stations serve as the economic and demographic hubs of the area.
Through strategic investment in its train system, Japan has successfully established one of the most dependable, swift, and secure rail networks globally!
