  That’s not the reason. There are a lot of people driving in Tokyo anyway.

  Rail literally lifted Japan out of the ashes after WWII. And unlike America, Japan allowed passenger rail and other mass transit to build out side-by-side with the rise of the automobile.

  The result is that Japan has one of the best public transit systems in the world despite also being a very car-centric country.
