Welcome to the Japanese Railway Society

The Japanese Railway Society (JRS) was founded in 1991 in London, England, to promote the knowledge of the railways of Japan in England and other non-Japanese-speaking parts of the world. Since 1991, there have been several activities like exhibitions (also of railway models), a TV-show (on Naruhodo The World, Fuji TV), many meetings in England, Germany and the Netherlands, and seven guided tours to Japan (in 1994, in March/April 1996, in October 1997 , in April 1998, in April 2000, in August 2001 and in March/April 2003. The membership is now more than 300 persons in about 10 countries worldwide.

Omocha Express is a charity that has been founded by the Japan Rail Modelers of Washington, DC (JRM), Iwate Rail Modeler's Circle (IRC), and theSanriku Railway Company (Santetsu) and its aim is to raise funds to provide recreational items (such as toys, books, and art supplies) to children in Japan who have lost their homes and belongings in the March 11, 2011 earthquake and tsunami.
