With construction of a magnetically levitated train line connecting Tokyo to Osaka via Nagoya in the works, Central Japan Railway Co. (JR Tokai) has started negotiating with landowners for property rights around Nagoya Station.
Sectional property rights will determine how far below ground a landowner's boundaries extend.
In places where the tunnel for the magnetic levitation train line will be built less than 40 meters below ground, the company will sign a contract with landowners and pay them a lump sum in compensation.
