Railway

Railways have been constructed everywhere in Japan and they are very accessible. Many people take trains to commute to school or work. In order for us to travel faster and further with more comfort and safety, such improvements as designing new cars and building new railway lines have been done.
Shinkansens are symbolic vehicles in Japanese railways. Many people are involved in providing comfortable railway trips by connecting all over Japan with Shinkansens.

In the past Japanese used horses to draw a cart or sometimes even people carried goods on their shoulder or drew the cart to transport goods and people on land.
