About this page

This page outlines Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's railway barrier-free initiatives. A new railway station barrier-free fee system was established in December 2021, enabling passengers to contribute thinly and widely toward accessibility improvements. As of the end of fiscal year 2024, platform screen doors were installed at 1,190 stations and 2,830 platform lines nationwide. Sixteen railway operators utilize this system, with student passes exempted to consider household budgets. The ministry also implements comprehensive measures including mental barrier-free promotion, safety improvements for visually impaired users, and wheelchair accessibility enhancements.
