Not to mention that the Chuo Shinkansen will be privately financed, and is being built by a private company, JR central. They almost certainly need government cooperation (you can hardly escape that with something so huge and covering so much geographical area), but this isn't a Japanese government project, and the government isn't paying for it.
From Wikipedia: "On December 25, 2007, JR Central announced that it plans to raise funds for the construction of the Chuo Shinkansen on its own, without government financing."
