Financial Supports for the Railway Construction
Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism
After 1997,
-Central and local governments pay for the construction cost.
-Operators (JRs) no longer shoulder the burden of the construction cost.
-This scheme ensures the sustainable operation of the JRs.

In case of Shinkansen construction extending across local authorities,
under entrustment from JRTT, local governments themselves purchase
land for quick and smooth acquisition.
