The
Chuo Shinkansen
(
中央新幹線
,
Central
Shinkansen
)
is a Japanese
maglev
line under construction between
Tokyo
and
Nagoya
, with plans for extension to
Osaka
. Its initial section is between
Shinagawa Station
in Tokyo and
Nagoya Station
in Nagoya, with stations in
Sagamihara
,
K?fu
,
Iida
and
Nakatsugawa
. Following the completion of the Tokyo?Nagoya line, the line will extend to connect stations in
Mie
,
Nara
and
Osaka
. The line is expected to connect Tokyo and Nagoya in 40 minutes, and eventually Tokyo and Osaka in 67 minutes, running at a maximum speed of 505 km/h (314 mph). About 90% of the 286-kilometer (178 mi) line to Nagoya will be tunnels.
The Chuo Shinkansen is the culmination of Japanese maglev development since the 1970s, a government-funded project initiated by
Japan Airlines
and the former
Japanese National Railways
(JNR).
Central Japan Railway Company
(JR Central) now operates the facilities and research. The line is intended to be built by extending and incorporating the existing Yamanashi test track (
see below
). The trainsets themselves are popularly known in Japan as linear motor car
(
リニアモ?タ?カ?
,
rinia m?t? k?
)
, though there have been many technical variations.
Government permission to proceed with construction was granted on 27 May 2011. Construction of the line, which is expected to cost over
¥
9
trillion
(approximately 82
billion
USD), commenced in 2014.
The start date of commercial service is currently unknown, after
Shizuoka Prefecture
denied permission for construction work on a portion of the route in June 2020.
[1]
JR Central originally aimed to begin commercial service between Tokyo and Nagoya in 2027, with the Nagoya?Osaka section planned to be completed as early as 2037. Originally, the Nagoya?Osaka section was planned to be completed as late as 2045, but the date was moved up following a loan from the Japanese government.
[3]
However, on 29 March 2024, Central Japan Railway Co President Shunsuke Niwa said that due to construction delays the original plan for a 2027 opening of the Tokyo-Nagoya section was now impossible and it is not expected to open until at least 2034.

Basin, July 2011
Following the opening of the Tokaido Shinkansen between Tokyo and Osaka in 1964, Japanese National Railways (JNR) focused on the development of faster Maglev technology. In the 1970s, a 7-kilometer (4.3 mi) test track for Maglev research and development was built in
Miyazaki Prefecture
.
[5]
As desired results had been obtained at the (now former) Miyazaki test track, an 18.4-kilometer (11.4 mi) test track with tunnels, bridges and slopes was built at a site in
Yamanashi Prefecture
, between
?tsuki
and
Tsuru
(
35°34′58″N

/
35.5827°N 138.927°E
/
35.5827; 138.927
(
Yamanashi Test Track
)
). Residents of Yamanashi Prefecture and government officials were eligible for free rides on the Yamanashi test track, and over 200,000 people took part. Trains on this test track routinely achieved operating speeds of over 500 km/h (311 mph), allowing for a thorough test of the capabilities of the future Chuo Shinkansen.
The track was extended a further 25 km (15.5 mi) along the future route of the Chuo Shinkansen, to bring the combined track length up to 42.8 km (26.6 mi). Extension and upgrading work was completed by June 2013, allowing researchers to run tests at top speed over longer periods.
[6]
[7]
The first tests on this longer track took place in August 2013.
[8]
[9]
JR Central began offering public train rides at 500 km/h (311 mph) on the Yamanashi test track, via a lottery selection, in 2014.
[10]
The train holds the
world record for the fastest manned train
on this track.
Routing
[
edit
]
The line's route passes through many sparsely populated areas in the
Japanese Alps
(Akaishi Mountains), but is more direct than the current
T?kaid? Shinkansen
route, and time saved through a more direct route was a more important criterion to JR Central than having stations at intermediate population centers. Also, the more heavily populated T?kaid? route is congested, and providing an alternative route if the T?kaid? Shinkansen were to become blocked by earthquake damage was also a consideration. The route will have a minimum curve radius of 8,000 m (26,000 ft), and a maximum gradient of 4%. This is more than the traditional Shinkansen lines, which top out at 3%.
The planned route between Nagoya and
Osaka
includes a stop in
Nara
. In 2012, politicians and business leaders in
Kyoto
petitioned the central government and JR Central to change the route to pass through their city.
[11]
The governor of Nara Prefecture announced in November 2013 that he had re-confirmed the Transport Ministry's intention to route the segment through Nara.
[12]
JR Central announced in July 2008 that the Ch?? Shinkansen would start at Tokyo's
Shinagawa Station
, citing difficulties in securing land at nearby
Tokyo
and
Shinjuku
stations for a maglev terminal.

A JR Central report on the Chuo Shinkansen was approved by a
Liberal Democratic Party
panel in October 2008, which certified three proposed routes for the Maglev. According to a
Japan Times
news article, JR Central supported the more direct route, which would cost less money to build than the other two proposals, backed by
Nagano Prefecture
. The latter two plans had the line swinging up north between
K?fu
and
Nakatsugawa
stations to serve areas within Nagano.
[14]
In June 2009, JR Central also announced research results comparing the three routes, estimating revenue and travel time, which showed the most favorable being the shortest Plan C, with long tunnels under the Japanese Alps.
[15]
The Council for Transport Policy for the
Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism
concluded on 20 October 2010 that Plan C would be most cost-efficient.
[16]
JR Central announced that one station would be constructed in each of Yamanashi, Gifu, Nagano, and Kanagawa Prefectures.
[17]
On 31 October 2014, Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism approved Plan C for construction.
[18]
Construction began on 17 December 2014.
[19]
Preparatory work at Nagoya station began in 2016.
[20]
A skyscraper measuring 220 m (720 ft) in height was built by JR Central. The structure is named 名古屋?新ビル ("Nagoya-eki Shin-biru", Nagoya Station new building) and accommodates a station for the maglev trains in its basement area.
[21]
Construction schedule and costs
[
edit
]
Construction of Ch?? Shinkansen Jinry? Exit, in 2019
Construction work at
Nagoya Station
in 2019
JR Central announced in December 2007 that it planned to raise funds for the construction of the Chuo Shinkansen on its own, without government financing. Total cost, originally estimated at 5.1 trillion yen in 2007,
[22]
escalated to over 9 trillion yen by 2011.
[23]
Nevertheless, the company has said it can make a pre-tax profit of around 70 billion yen in 2026, when the operating costs stabilize.
[24]
The primary reason for the project's huge expense is that most of the line is planned to run in tunnels (about 86% of the initial section from Tokyo to Nagoya will be underground)
[25]
with some sections at a depth of 40 m (130 ft) (
deep underground
) for a total of 100 km (62 mi) in the Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka areas.
[

The original construction schedule from 2013, which called for the Tokyo?Nagoya segment to open in 2027 and the Nagoya?Osaka segment to open in 2045, was designed to keep JR Central's total debt burden below its approximate level at the time of privatization (around 5 trillion yen).
[26]
The schedule was later altered to bring forward the completion date of the Nagoya-Osaka segment to 2037, after JR Central received a loan from the Japanese government.
[3]
The first major contract announced was for a 7 km (4.3 mi) tunnel in Yamanashi and Shizuoka prefectures expected to be completed in 2025.
[27]
Construction of a 25 km (16 mi) tunnel under the southern Japanese Alps commenced on 20 December 2015, approximately 1,400 m (4,600 ft) below the surface at its deepest point. The tunnel is expected to be completed in 2025, and upon completion will succeed the 1,300 m (4,300 ft) deep
Daishimizu Tunnel
on the
Joetsu Shinkansen
line as the deepest tunnel in Japan. Construction has also started on the maglev station at Shinagawa.
[28]
Being built below the existing Shinkansen station, and to consist of two platforms and four tracks, construction is planned to take 10 years, largely to avoid disruption to the existing
Tokaido Shinkansen
services located above the new station.
JR Central estimates that Chuo Shinkansen fares will be only slightly more expensive than Tokaido Shinkansen fares, with a difference of around 700 yen between Tokyo and Nagoya, and around 1,000 yen between Tokyo and Osaka. The positive economic impact of the Chuo Shinkansen in reducing travel times between the cities has been estimated at anywhere between 5 and 17 trillion yen during the line's first fifty years of operation.
[29]
Shizuoka Prefecture dispute
[
edit
]
?i River
Construction is yet to commence on the part of the line going through
Shizuoka Prefecture
, as the municipality has expressed concern about water from the
?i River
leaking into the tunnel, lowering the water level.
[30]
JR Central expressed concern early on that the delay in construction of the only 9 kilometer long section going through Shizuoka might throw the entire project off schedule.
[31]
It is believed by some political analysts that the actual reason for Shizuoka Prefecture's apparent concerns of the project is not over the ?i River, but was merely used as a pretense to force JR Central's hand in building a train station on the
Tokaido Shinkansen
under
Shizuoka Airport
.
[32]
Shizuoka Prefecture, being the only prefecture where no new station will be built, has long lobbied JR Central for years for the construction of such a station, with the line running directly under the airport. The railway has so far refused, citing the close distance to the neighboring
Kakegawa Station
and
Shizuoka
stations. If constructed, travel time from the center of Tokyo to the airport would be comparable to that for
Tokyo Narita Airport
, enabling it to act as a third hub airport for the capital.
[33]
As the station would be built underneath an active airport, it is expected to open after the new maglev line.
[34]
Officials of Shizuoka Prefecture, in a meeting with JR Central in June 2020, denied permission to begin construction work on the tunnel. JR Central announced the following week that it would be "difficult" to open the Tokyo-Nagoya line in 2027 as previously announced.
[1]
The incumbent governor of Shizuoka Prefecture
Heita Kawakatsu
was re-elected in June 2021, partly on a platform of continued opposition to construction of the new line, barring further accommodations by JR Central.
[35]
Following a series of meetings between JR Central and Shizuoka Prefecture facilitated by the Ministry of Transportation, an interim report was released on the results of the meetings so far in late December 2021. Among other things, the report confirmed that while JR was committed to returning any water leaking into the tunnel once construction was completed, there is no known feasible way to return all of the water during the construction phase. However, it did also conclude that the amount of water leaked was likely to be insignificant.
[36]
On 7 January 2022, commenting on the report, the Shizuoka Prefecture governor expressed continued opposition to construction when it could result in water levels going down, even if only during construction. He urged JR Central to re-investigate the possibility of returning leaking water during construction.
[37]
On 20 January that same year, the prefecture officially called the report "insufficient", and announced that it still would not allow construction to commence.
[38]
On 21 December 2023, during a routine press conference, JR Central’s President Niwa announced an agreement with Tokyo Electric Power Company, the ?i River's dam operator, to diminish the volume of water extracted from the upstream dam. This action aims to address the anticipated impact on the Oi River’s water levels, a consequence of the construction project. The agreement outlines the method of reducing water intake and the concept of compensation. The proposal was well-received and endorsed previously by the local governing council in November 2023.
[

On 2 April 2024, Governor Kawakatsu announced that he would be resigning after making statements criticised as being insulting towards certain professions.
[39]
This came less than week after JR Central's announcement that it would be unable to meet its goal of opening the Shinagawa-Nagoya section of the line by 2027. Governor Kawakatsu's resignation was met with discussions about whether his successor would approve tunnel construction, triggering a slight rise in JR Central’s stock price.
[40]
On May 26, 2024, the
ensuing by-election
was won by Yasutomo Suzuki, who was called a "Maglev Proponent" by Nikkei Asia.
[41]
The mayor of
Nagoya
, a city on the maglev, also said "Mr. Suzuki has a deep understanding of industry, so I think he will get the project done quickly."
[42]
Osaka extension
[
edit
]
The government of
Osaka Prefecture
, as well as local corporations such as
Suntory
and
Nippon Life
, have raised concerns about the impact of the delayed construction of the Nagoya?Osaka segment on the Osaka economy. Politicians from the Kansai region called for, and received, state-backed loans for JR Central in order to expedite the line's construction, resulting in the opening of the extension being moved forward by up to 8 years.
[12]
Construction accidents
[
edit
]
On 27 October 2021, two construction workers died when part of the retaining wall of a temporary work tunnel collapsed. JR Central concluded that the safety checks carried out were insufficient, and vowed to make it clearer to workers which areas had and had not completed the safety checks necessary to allow for the presence of human workers going forward.

Technology
[
edit
]
The Ch?? Shinkansen will employ the
SCMaglev
technology, a
maglev
(
magnetic levitation
train) system developed by
JR Central
. The levitating force is generated between
superconducting magnets
on the trains and
coils
on the track.
[47]
The absence of wheel friction allows higher speed and higher acceleration and deceleration than conventional
high-speed rail
.
[47]
Schematic diagram of propulsion concept
The superconducting coils use
Niobium?titanium
alloy cooled to a temperature of ?269 °C (4.15 K; ?452 °F) with
liquid helium
.
[47]
Magnetic coils are used both for levitation and propulsion. The trains are accelerated by alternating currents on the ground producing attraction and repulsion forces with the coils on the train. The levitation and guidance system, working with the same principle, ensures that the train is elevated and centered in the track.
[47]
Energy consumption
[
edit
]
In 2018, a scientific comparison of the energy consumption of SCMaglev,
Transrapid
and conventional high-speed trains was conducted. The energy consumption per square meter of usable area was examined in relation to speed.
[48]
The results show that there are only minor differences at speeds of 200 km/h and above. However, maglevs can reach much higher speeds than conventional trains. Conventional trains, on the other hand, require less energy at slow speeds, with this advantage shrinking or even slightly reversing during high-speed operation. As the Ch?? Shinkansen mostly runs in tunnels, air resistance will be much higher than for most high-speed railways, significantly increasing energy consumption.
[48]
During normal operating conditions, the energy consumption of the L0 series between Tokyo and Osaka is estimated at 90-100 Wh/seat-km. For comparison, the conventional N700-series train operating on the fastest service-pattern on the existing line between Tokyo and Osaka has an estimated energy consumption of 70 Wh/seat-km.
[48]
Despite this increase, the L0 series still consumes much less energy than even the most efficient
short/medium-haul
modern
passenger aircraft
. For instance, the
Airbus A319neo
uses ~209 Wh/seat-km over a distance of 1,900 km. This figure would presumably be even higher for very short flights such as Tokyo-Nagoya, with much less time spent cruising.
[49]
Moreover, the operation of the L0 series maglev train is completely electric, making it easier to transition to low-carbon energy sources.
Rolling stock
[
edit

Improved L0 Series maglev train in August 2020
On 2 December 2003,
MLX01
, a three-car train set a
world record speed
of 581 km/h (361 mph) in a manned run. On 16 November 2004, it also set a world record for two trains passing each other at a combined speed of 1,026 km/h (638 mph).
On 26 October 2010, JR Central announced a new train type, the
L0 Series
, for commercial operation at 505 km/h (314 mph).
[50]
It set a world record speed for a manned train of 603 km/h (375 mph) on 21 April 2015.
[51]
On 26 March 2020, the
Improved L0 Series
started operations on the test track. It represents the completion of 80?90% of the design goals for the final train, and is the first to draw power from the track. Previous models used on-board gas generators.
