10 Biggest Railway Companies in Japan (excluding former National Railway)
There are 2 groups of railway companies in Japan; JR group and the rest of companies. JR companies used to be one company; Japan National Railway (JNR). JNR was denationalized and divided into 7 companies in 1980s. In this post, I mention about only the non-JR companies, because statistics method is different between 2 groups.
