Shimakyu Railway

Misato Railway Transport (美里鉄道輸送株式会社, Misato Tetsudo Yuso Kabushiki Kaisha), also known as Mitetsu or MRT is a private railway company in Lamtsu, operating lines in the Lamtsu, Yokohama, Kansai and Sakura areas.

Some of the famous trains operated by Mitetsu include the Rakurai and the Inazuma, both of which operate at speeds of 160km/h, the fastest in Lamtsu as of 2022. The trains run long-distance express services on the Kansai Main Line, and while all the trains on these lines can run at 160km/h, only these trains achieve and hold the speed consistently. The older K-Trains have been retired in favour of the faster A-trains.

Misato Railway Transport is the Heavy Rail arm of Sorano-Misato Railway Transit, which holds the companies of Misato Railway Transport and Lamtsu Rapid Transit, the other-modal company operating Trams, APMs and Cable Cars.
