Japan – interactive railway map. Mainline, regional and freight rail network — filterable by speed, electrification, track gauge and line usage.
Japan – rail network drawn from data mapped by OpenStreetMap contributors, covering mainline railways, regional lines, commuter rail and freight corridors. Lines are colour-coded by rail type and filterable by maximum permitted speed, electrification system, track gauge and line usage. The map reveals the layered structure of the network: high-speed intercity spines, slower regional connectors, freight-only branches serving ports and industrial zones, and heritage lines preserved for tourism. Switch between filter modes to view the same railway infrastructure through a different lens — the same line that appears as a passenger main line in usage mode will show its permitted speed and electrification system in the other views.
Japan – 137,948 mapped railway segments, including 1,210 tram segments, 3,657 metro segments, 1,142 light rail segments and 1,011 narrow gauge segments — one of the world's most extensive rail networks. Also mapped: 13,102 high-speed railway segments and 95,028 electrified segments.
Download a printable, high-resolution Japan railway map: export the current view as a PNG up to A0 at 300 DPI, with line colours and widths taken from your own preset. Paid exports can also be cropped exactly to the Japan border. Free exports carry a watermark; an Export Pass removes it. Japan rail data is also available as GeoPackage or Shapefile.
