JR TRAIN SERVICES

Japan's rail service rates as one of the most efficient and convenient in the world. Most trains in Japan are operated by the Japan Railways Group (JR Group), which boasts the world's most tightly scheduled train service with approximately 26,000 trains operating daily. Traveling by train is safe and quick, and trains depart punctually (clients should be warned that if they arrive at the train platform even 30 seconds after the scheduled departure time, they will most likely miss their train). What's more, traveling by train in Japan is a delight, with wide windows showcasing changing vistas ranging from wooded mountain valleys to scenic coastlines. Clients will also appreciate the fact that trains deliver them in most cases right downtown, at central train stations that usually have the extra convenience of a local tourist.
