As of March 2024, the total operating length of the passenger railway network in Japan amounted to around 27.7 thousand kilometers, decreasing from 27.95 thousand kilometers in 2016. The closures of smaller local railway lines were primarily the reason for this decrease. The large-sized private passenger railway network grew slightly.
