About

Keisei Electric Railway Co., Ltd. (京成電鉄株式会社, Keisei Dentetsu kabushiki gaisha), referred to as Keisei (stylized as K'SEI since 2001), is a major private railway in Chiba Prefecture and Tokyo, Japan. The name Keisei is the combination of the kanji 京 from Tokyo (東京) and 成 from Narita (成田), which the railway's main line connects; the combination uses different readings than the ones used in the city names. The railway's main line runs from Tokyo to Narita and the eastern suburb cities of Funabashi, Narashino, Yachiyo, and Sakura. Keisei runs an airport limited express train called the Skyliner from Ueno and Nippori to Narita International Airport. In addition to its railway business, Keisei Electric Railway Company owns large bus and taxi services and some real estate holdings. It owns a controlling share of Oriental Land Company which owns and manages the Tokyo Disney Resort and the Disney Resort Line monorail. Keisei is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the Nikkei 225 index.
