ローカル鉄道リスト(1日当たり乗客数が1,000人未満のリスト)

tango railway

日本のローカル鉄道リストを作成しました。このリストは2019年度の「鉄道統計年報」において、1日当たりの乗客数が1,000人未満の45路線となります。乗客数が少ないということは、つまり損益状況が厳しいということです。2019年度において、業績が開示されている37社中、89%にあたる33社が赤字でした。また、37社合計の売上高は183億円、営業赤字は63億円(営業赤字率34%)でした。多くは廃線の危機にあると言えます。しかし、日本の田舎における交通手段として欠かせない路線ばかりで、各社とも存続の手段を必死に模索しています。
 
2019年には3,188万人の外国人観光客が日本を訪れました。仮に、そのうち10%の外国人旅行者が今回リスト化した45路線に1往復でも乗車すれば、45路線合計の年間乗客数906万人の70%に相当する大きな貢献となります。
 
ローカル鉄道は、田舎ならではの美しい原風景を車窓から眺められる上、車内で地元の人々と交流できる可能性があったりと、観光客にとってとても魅力的な路線です。特に外国人観光客にとっては日本旅行の素晴らしい思い出となるに違いありません。
 
Booking.com(2022年の調査)によれば、「世界の旅行者の64%が人気の観光地やアトラクションを避ける」、「世界の旅行者の33%がより地元に密着した体験を望んでいる」となっています。ローカル鉄道に乗れば、その両方の要求を満たすことができるでしょう。是非、日本のローカル鉄道に乗ることを検討してください。

List of local railways with less than 1,000 daily passengers

 
We have compiled a list of local railways in Japan. This list comprises 45 lines with less than 1,000 passengers per day in the Annual Railway Statistics Report for 2019. Low passenger numbers naturally mean a difficult profit/loss situation: in FY 2019, 33 of the 37 companies with disclosed results, or 89%, were in the red. The 37 companies had a turnover of JPY 18.3 billion and an operating loss of JPY 6.3 billion (operating loss ratio: 34%) in total. Many can be said to be in danger of closure. However, all of these lines are indispensable as a means of transport in rural Japan, and the companies are desperately trying to find a way to keep them running.
 
Although local railways continue to face a difficult profit and loss situation, they are very valuable for tourists in that they offer beautiful views of the Japanese countryside from the train windows and the possibility of interacting with the local people. Especially for foreign tourists, seeing the beautiful unspoiled landscape of Japan from the train window must be a good memory of their trip to Japan.
 
In 2019, 31.88 million foreign tourists visited Japan. If 10% of these foreign visitors made even one round trip on the 45 routes listed here, this would represent a significant contribution of 70% of the 9.06 million annual passengers on the 45 routes in total.
 
According to Booking.com (2022 survey), “64% of global travelers avoid popular tourist destinations and attractions,” and “33% of global travelers want to have a more locally relevant experience.” Riding a local train can satisfy both of these demands. We urge you to consider riding a local train in Japan. You will be sure to see some spectacular scenery. You will also have a heartwarming interaction with the locals who ride local trains.
