Business summary
I do the Tokaido Shinkansen and an old line sitting astride ten prefectures of 12 railroad sections of Kanagawa, Shizuoka, Yamanashi, Nagano, Aichi, Gifu, Toyama, Shiga, three folds, Wakayama around the Tokai district with a business area [note 3]. On the other hand, the business number of kilograms is short next to Shikoku Railway Co. (Shikoku Railway Company). Because I run the Tokaido Shinkansen which is the aorta of the Japanese railroad, mind the head office and the business base in Tokyo, Osaka, and the Tokaido Shinkansen occupies approximately 85% in the profit of the railroad section, and the transportation income of the old line does not reach 10%.
Approximately 1,950,000 plants were sold to the open market in 2,240,000 stocks of the incorporated administrative agency Japan Railway Construction, Transport and Technology Agency possession by July 29, 2005. And, on April 5, 2006, all stocks (286,071) of the mechanism possession were sold to Central Japan Railway for one 1,150,000 yen (a total of approximately 328,900 million yen), and Central Japan Railway achieved "perfection privatization" in those days following East Japan Railway Co. (JR East), West Japan Railway Co. (West Japan Railway) among JR3 Corporation listed on the Stock Exchange, too [note 5].
The passenger transportation income of 2006 was 1,147 billion yen, and JR East, 22.3% were released at a window (they include a travel agency) of West Japan Railway 32.5% of them. When it is a decision between JR and sells tickets of the other companies section conclusion in company's tellers, I will pay money of adjustment of the amount of uniformity to JR East or West Japan Railway from Shinkansen Station without the payment of the fee for 5% of amount of release using an old line about tickets of thing and the "East Kyoto Ward" "Yokohama city" "Kyoto city" "Osaka city" departure and arrival to be provided from the JR other companies to be related to even if it is direct ride, getting off, and Central Japan Railway pays fees of approximately 30 billion yen a year to the JR other companies [4].
Because I run the Tokaido Shinkansen which makes aorta of the east Meihan Expressway, and changes Japanese economy, it is among the Japanese railway companies in a high company of the finding employment popularity. Central Japan Railway was ranked the first place by the "company questionnaire where I wanted to find a job" which Recruit performed for a school-leaver in 2011. It was the eighth place in the school-leavers [5], but, according to the survey by Nihon Keizai Shimbun, drops in the 14th place in the school-leavers in 2012 for 2,011 years [6].
Management environment
I add it to management circumstances and the Bullet train possession mechanism that must support profit by railway business like West Japan Railway from the beginning of start having become a hindrance to the profit, and, in addition, there are competition with Nagoya Railroad and Kintetsu which are a private railroad running side by side and the excellence train in the environment that the profit is hard to take about the old line though there is the head office, and there is car diffusion rate in the high rank class in the whole country in the populous Nagoya suburbs area (Aichi, Gifu, Mie) because most must communicate the JR other companies directly. In addition, in the case of the new plan sale or Shinagawa Station station construction, motions are not often produced freely because there is the area where the old line including the metropolitan area and Kansai zone belongs to the JR other companies area about the Shinkansen (later description).
From the beginning of start, I planned increase of the number of trains, the speedup of the train by Tokaido Line in prospect of profit by old line around the Nagoya suburbs. Among others, "it shows" high speed and is in hot pursuit of the private railroad of the competitor by の service, electrification of Taketoyo Line. I cast Doctor Yellow in the safety and do it and wrestle thoroughly at the same time to target the businessman whom Kintetsu runs extra "wishes" against injection of the Meihan Expressway limited express Urban liner, and accuracy and speed are demanded from in the Tokaido Shinkansen becoming the income source.
Because a Bullet train possession system was dissolved, enhancement and the new car development of the service become easy and cast 300 system, 700 system, N700 system, N700A system into the Tokaido Shinkansen in sequence and they start Wi-Fi service in the Shinkansen inside of car and do it and wrestle for the improvement of the service.
On the other hand, in addition to a long-term debt of 319,100 million yen that I succeeded at the beginning of division and privatization of 1987, it is the management problem that a liquidation of 5,090 billion yen that I bought from Bullet train possession mechanism in 1991 is important. In addition, you must push forward the earthquake-resistant reinforcement work for the Tokai earthquake that is the greatest risk factor that is always expected while I am more than 50 years after the opening of business and comprise the Tokaido Shinkansen becoming the basis of the corporate management for the large-scale repair work of timeworn facilities, facilities, and it is linear construction costs and liquidation and the important management problem that I put together.
with other railroad companies of relationships
Over Shinagawa Station of the Tokaido Shinkansen, I clarified a design "to obtain land of JR East of Shinagawa by transfer at a bargain price, and to build it by a statement of accounts of May, 1990 there". The Department of Transportation submitted a plan "to obtain land said to be current price hundreds of billions of yen by transfer in book value" (price of 1949) afterwards not JR East. However, JR East is repulsion in having demanded the intervention of the country from JR East against communication and not having talked and a purpose of the privatization about this design and plan beforehand. President Yutaka Suda of Central Japan Railway talked together, and Suda apologized for past circumstances, and the setting of the Shinagawa new station decided President Shoji Sumita of JR East through the good offices of Undersecretary of Department of Transportation afterwards in April, 1992 by withdrawing an original plan [7].
"The TEX ticket for exclusive use of the Tokaido Shinkansen" did not let you apply the specific capital ward city system of the ticket including East Kyoto Ward and the Osaka city, and the Shinkansen coupon which Central Japan Railway released originally in 1997 limited the purchase and a seat reservation to a window of Central Japan Railway more. Because the Shinkansen coupon "Shinkansen economy ticket" which released for a long time at the windows of the JR group companies of the whole country from this ticket past applied identification capital ward city system, misunderstand it if TEX ticket user is available from East Kyoto Ward and the Osaka city; identification capital ward city Station of getting on and off Station rode past the stop, and troubles appeared one after another at a station. JR East and West Japan Railway call for the review of the TEX ticket saying "you must do the dealing with grievances of the passenger who was misled into thinking that I can get on an old line in-house". However, Central Japan Railway did not accept it, and opposition continued. This confusion continued after all until "the Shinkansen business ticket" which unified TEX ticket and Shinkansen economy tickets in 1999 two years later became the release (possible the purchase and a seat reservation in specific capital ward city system application, all JR) in JR group. This TEX ticket is example that disliked payment to JR East and West Japan Railway cited in by a foregoing paragraph "business summary" [8].
In the background promoting the use of "plus EX" of the Shinkansen reservation service "express reservation" of the membership system (need annual convention costs) and the sisters service by Tokaido Shinkansen binding the Keihanshin district area where metropolitan area and West Japan Railway where JR East has majority of stations have majority of stations together, there are such circumstances, too. In addition, with West Japan Railway where mutual entry of the Shinkansen was carried out, "an express reservation" was extended temporarily to Shinkobe of the Sanyo Shinkansen section from December, 2005 and was enlarged in all sections of Tokaido, the Sanyo Shinkansen from July 22, 2006 in the next year. On the other hand, service "mobile Suica" of JR East is to contract for "view express special contract" service of Central Japan Railway, and the use of the express reservation is recognized.
I perform integral service with the Tokaido Shinkansen and the Sanyo Shinkansen with West Japan Railway from start those days or, other than above-mentioned "express reservation" expansion, show a stronger joint development of the Shinkansen vehicle after the 700 system, degree of the co-operation including the release of the Shinkansen discount coupon (wish 早特往復 ticket) with Tokai - China, Kyushu District. I develop the sleeping car (285 system) jointly with West Japan Railway [note 6].
IC travel card "TOICA" (トイカ) which I introduced in the Nagoya zone from November, 2006, the mutual use was enabled between "ICOCA" of West Japan Railway "Suica" of JR East from March 29, 2008 [note 7].
I it about English notation
Our English notation becomes "Central Japan Railway Company" not "Tokai Railway Company". In addition, the English notation of "Central Japan Railway" is "JR Central" not "JR Tokai", and a geographical meaning is different from a Japanese business name, popular name (Tokai) in an English letter business name, an abbreviated designation (Central Japan, will of Naka Nihon) in six JR travelers alone. However, on the other hand, it becomes "JR Tokai Bus" about the Central Japan Railway bus of the subsidiary.
Central Shinkansen (linear)
I announced that I built the linear motor car-type central Shinkansen between metropolitan area - Nagoya megalopolis areas by total amount self-pay on December 25, 2007. As for the route distance, approximately 290km, the total business expense are approximately 5,100 billion yen. The concrete financing method was considered to be undecided, but it is said that the soundness of financial affairs does not have any problem even if I come back to the outstanding debt by the test calculation for 2007 and the long term of the standard in the opening of business eighth year and build it by oneself. I was considered that I pursued the burden of the construction expense in the hometown about the way station built for a local request. By the total amount self-pay when build it, become the first Shinkansen which a private enterprise opens by an own effort. However, "never pay" at the press conference on September 18 President Yamada 2013, and even an interview of October 17 speaks, "the profit is not produced" more, and the power consumption exceeds 3 times of the Shinkansen again, and the uneasy point remains [9]; [10].
I performed experiments of the superconduction linear (magnetic levitating transportation system) about the linear in cooperation with Railway Technical Res. Inst. from the beginning of company start and exhibited the pavilion "Central Japan Railway superconduction linear hall" which introduced including an associated technique for "the 2005 World Exposition, Aichi, Japan" (World Exposition Aichi) held from March 25, 2005 to September 25.
In addition, I made Nippon Sharyo, Ltd. a consolidated subsidiary by take-over bid (TOB) in 2008.
Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport appointed Central Japan Railway as construction, the business main constituent of the central Shinkansen formally on May 20, 2011.
Overseas development in Japan
I hold "a rapid transit railway symposium" in a hotel in Nagoya-shi on November 16, 2009. I introduced the good point of the Tokaido Shinkansen and superconduction linear technology for the people concerned with embassy which attended in Japan and carry out getting on at experience of a maximum of 330 kilos per an hour driving with the N700 system vehicle (Z0 formation) between Maibara - Kyoto. I sent the superiority of both systems which the company was proud of to the world widely while rapid transit railway construction was considered in all the countries of the world.
It was announced that I entered some rapid transit railway route projects in the market in the foreign countries which did it including the United States to plan two American research companies and development of latest high-speed railway system "N700-I Bullet" and superconduction linear system "SCMAGLEV" on January 25, 2010.
Other business
The JR central towers of the Nagoya Station direct top that started a business in 1999 are representative by other business. I was placed in Guinness world レコーズ as "the world's highest station building". At the skyscraper where Nagoya Marriott Associa Hotel JR NAGOYA TAKASHIMAYA office enters, it becomes the landmark of Nagoya. In late years the plan of the railroad Museum by the proposal of Yutaka Suda (ex-President, the existing consultant) was announced and announced that Masayuki Matsumoto of the president at the time built it at a press conference in Kinjofutou of Nagoyako on April 15, 2008 and opened it as "museum ... of linear railroad building - dream and memory" on March 14, 2011.
