Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has opened a public-comment window on Keisei Electric Railway's application to change the upper limit on its passenger rail fares. The ministry's Railway Bureau said Keisei filed the application on November 6, 2026, and that it wants to hear from users so it can review the request properly.
The window
Comments run from Monday, November 9 to Monday, November 23, 2026, and must arrive by the end of that period. The e-Gov listing, which marked the notice as new on November 9, puts the cutoff at 0:00 on November 24, the same moment. The listing classes the exercise as a voluntary comment process, not one run under the Administrative Procedure Act.
How to take part
Comments must be in Japanese. They can be sent through the e-Gov form, by email to the Railway Bureau's passenger transport operations supervision office, or by post to its Kasumigaseki address in Tokyo. Email comments must be typed into the message body, not attached as files. For email and postal submissions, the notice asks for a name and address (a name and location for organisations) plus a phone number or email address.
The ministry will not answer comments individually or confirm receipt, and it does not accept comments by phone. Comments will be compiled and used as material in its review, and their content may be made public.
What the notice leaves open
The notice does not state the proposed fares or the size of any change. The e-Gov listing links the application form as a separate PDF. The notice also gives no date for a decision on the application.
