The modal split in the Japanese long-distance passenger transportation system as well as its reasons and impacts are examined. Competition between automobile and train, and between train and airplane, are analyzed. Results show that the competition in Japan is completely different from that in other industrialized countries by reason of the high performance railway network. The secondary impacts are explained with respect to energy consumption and traffic accidents. Transportation demand development in comparison with Germany is described.
