The gauge difference is likely due to how there used to be many smaller, private rail companies that were all merged into the big three(five+) that exist today.
It would be a colossal task to rip it all out and re-gauge the tracks. And in certain areas of Japan the tight spaces would make increasing the gauge impossible.
Love the line but not how crowded it gets.
