''new trunk line''), colloquially known in English as the bullet train, is a network of high-speed railway lines in Japan. Initially, it was built to connect distant Japanese regions with Tokyo, the capital, in order to aid economic growth and development.

  • Recent Trends in Japanese Transportation Masahiro Sugiyama
    Recent Trends in Japanese Transportation Masahiro Sugiyama 1. Countermeasures for Natural Disasters 2004 was a year with an unusually high occurrence of natural disasters. There were 10 typhoons from June and the country was visited by heavy rains in the Niigata/Fukushima region and Fukui region in July. The disasters led to more than 230 dead or missing and almost 170,000 homes immersed in water. In October, the Chuetsu Earthquake with an intensity of 7 rocked the country, resulting in 40 deaths and the evacuation of over 100,000 people. In December, furthermore, the Sumatra-Andaman Earthquake and ensuing tsunami, led to approximately 100,000 dead or missing in 10 countries around the Indian Ocean. Many Japanese were among the victims. Faced with such a serious situation, the annual White Paper on Land, Infrastructure and Transport in Japan 2005 published in fiscal 2004 mentions the disaster recovery countermeasures and rebuilding support offered by the national government and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport under the title of "Aiming to Build a Country Resilient to Disasters." This attempt was made to actively respond to social needs, and discussion includes actions taken against heavy rains and typhoons, earthquakes and tsunamis.
