JR Central Towers in Nagoya

The Central Japan Railway Company (東海旅客鉄道株式会社, Tōkai Ryokaku Tetsudō Kabushiki-gaisha^?) (TYO: 9022 ) is the main railway company operating in the Chūbu (Nagoya) region of central Japan. It is often referred to as JR Central (JR東海, JR Tōkai^?).

The company's operational hub is Nagoya Station. The busiest railway line it operates is the Tōkaidō Main Line between Atami Station and Maibara Station. JR Central also operates the Tōkaidō Shinkansen between Tokyo Station and Shin-Osaka Station. Additionally it is responsible for the Chūō Shinkansen—a proposed Maglev service between Shinagawa Station and Shin-Osaka Station, of which a short demonstration section has been built.
