JR East president apologizes to Tokyo governor
TOKYO, Japan - Satoshi Seino (L), president of East Japan Railway Co., visits Tokyo Gov. Shintaro Ishihara at the Tokyo metropolitan government office in Tokyo on June 20, 2011, to offer an apology over the railway operator's decision to suspend its services and shutter its major stations in the capital in the wake of a magnitude 9.0 earthquake in northeastern Japan on March 11, 2011, forcing stranded passengers out of the stations. The governor sent a protest letter to the company, commonly known as JR East, in May, saying the metropolitan government might start imposing taxes on JR East station facilities depending on its response to Tokyo's inquiry into the controversial decision.
