East Japan Railway Company
East Japan Railway Company is a registered legal entity registered in Japan under 9011001029597, and its current status with National Tax Agency — Corporate Number Publication Site is active. The company was incorporated on 5 October 2015 and lists its registered address as Shibuya Ward, Japan. 5 shareholders are on record for East Japan Railway Company, and since every one of them is a company rather than an individual, this particular filing does not on its own establish an ultimate beneficial owner (UBO) — identifying one would mean tracing the ownership of each shareholding company in turn. This profile is sourced directly from National Tax Agency — Corporate Number Publication Site and was last updated on 22 September 2026.

Shareholders of East Japan Railway Company
Five shareholders are currently on record for East Japan Railway Company, reflecting the kabunushi meibo (shareholder register) maintained under Articles 121-122 of the Companies Act rather than a public filing. The largest of these is J.P. Morgan Exchange-Traded Fund Trust-JPMorgan BetaBuilders Japan ETF, holding 6.5% — the largest recorded stake — followed by iShares, Inc.-iShares MSCI Japan ETF at 6.4%; the remaining 3 shareholders shown hold smaller stakes. Because every shareholder shown is a company rather than an individual, the ownership chain continues above this level, and no beneficial owner can be established from this filing alone.
