About this game

Ongakukan and JR East have teamed up to bring you a simulator with a wealth of experience in the field of train driving simulators. You can experience the professional simulator used by JR East drivers to train at home.

East Japan Railway Company was created on April 1, 1987, following the dismantling and privatization of Japanese National Railways, due to financial problems and overstaffing. It is one of Japan's largest railways company, with 17 million passengers a year.

Features

  • The sounds made by the trains and tracks in the simulator are recorded by JR East from real trains, so you can experience the realistic rolling noises a driver would hear while driving.
