Japan Transport Safety Board

The Japan Transport Safety Board (運輸安全委員会, Un'yu Anzen Iinkai; JTSB) is Japan's authority for establishing transportation safety (excluding related United States Forces Japan). It is a division of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT).

The agency formed on 1 October 2008 as a merger between the Japan Marine Accident Inquiry Agency (JMAIA) and the Aircraft and Railway Accidents Investigation Commission (ARAIC).

As of 2020 the chairperson is Nobuo Takeda (武田 展雄, Takeda Nobuo).

The headquarters is currently in the Yotsuya Tower [ja] (四谷タワー) in Yotsuya, Shinjuku, Tokyo.

The headquarters was previously in the 2nd Building of the Central Common Government Office [ja] in Kasumigaseki, Chiyoda, Tokyo.

In March 2012, the JTSB adopted a logo. The sphere represents the desire to carry out investigations of accidents and to maintain independence and fairness. The lines around the sphere represent the air, land, and sea. The blue-green color of the sphere represents safety.

Other than that, responsible for investigating other non-United States Forces Japan accidents.
