Central Japan Railway Company

The Central Japan Railway Company (JR Tōkai; JR 東海) is the main railway company operating in the Chubu (Nagoya) region of central Japan. The company's operational hub is Nagoya Station. Among the railway lines operated by JR Tokai, the busiest is the Tokaido Main Line between Atami and Maibara. JR Tokai also operates the Tokaido Shinkansen between Tokyo and Shin-Osaka. Also under JR Tokai's purview is the Chuo Shinkansen—a proposed Maglev service between Shinagawa and Shin-Osaka, of which a short demonstration section has been built.
