TheHokkaido Railway Company (北海道旅客鉄道株式会社,Hokkaidō Ryokaku Tetsudō kabushiki gaisha) is one of the constituent companies of theJapan Railways Group (JR Group), and is often referred to by its official abbreviation:JR Hokkaido (JR北海道,Jeiāru Hokkaidō). It operates intercity and local rail services inHokkaido, Japan. The company introducedKitaca, asmart card ticketing system, in autumn 2008.

At the time of its privatization in 1987, JR Hokkaido operated 21 railway lines totalling 3,176.6 kilometres (1,973.8 mi) of narrow-gauge (1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in)) track, as well as a ferry service toAomori. Since then, that figure has dwindled to just below 2,500 kilometres (1,600 mi), as unprofitable lines have been shut down or spun off (in the case of theHokkaidō Chihoku Kōgen Railway). The ferry service has also been replaced by the 53.85-km longdual-gaugeSeikan Tunnel for railways.

On 19 November 2016, JR Hokkaido's president announced plans to further rationalize its network by the withdrawal of services from up to 1,237 km, or about 50% of the current network,[1] including closure of the remaining section of theRumoi Main Line (the Rumoi - Mashike section closed on 4 December 2016, the Ishikari-Numata to Rumoi section on 31 March 2023 and the Fugagawa to Ishikari-Numata section will close on 31 March 2026), the Shin-Yubari - Yubari section of theSekisho Line (closed on 1 April 2019), the non-electrified section of theSassho Line (closed 17 April 2020) and theNemuro Line between Furano and Shintoku (closed 31 March 2024). Other lines including theSekihoku Main Line,Senmo Main Line, the Nayoro - Wakkanai section of theSoya Line and Kushiro - Nemuro section of the Nemuro Line are proposed for conversion toThird Sector operation, but if local governments are not agreeable, such sections will also face closure. JR Hokkaido closed 25 stations from March 2021 to March 2022 due to a decrease in passengers.[2][3]

JR Hokkaido's headquarters are inChūō-ku, Sapporo.[4]
