History

[edit]

JR East was incorporated on 1 April 1987 after being spun off from the government-runJapanese National Railways (JNR).[10] The spin-off was nominally "privatization", as the company was actually a wholly owned subsidiary of the government-ownedJNR Settlement Corporation for several years, and was not completely sold to the public until 2002.

Following the breakup, JR East ran the operations on former JNR lines in theGreater Tokyo Area, theTōhoku region, and surrounding areas.

JR East operates all of theShinkansen high-speed rail lines north of Tokyo, with the exception of theHokkaido Shinkansen which is operated byJR Hokkaido.[12]

The Tokyo–OsakaTōkaidō Shinkansen is owned and operated by theCentral Japan Railway Company (JR Central), although it stops at several JR East stations.[13]
