Ministry of Transport and Communications

Japanese: 運輸通信省 - うんゆつうしんしょう

An administrative agency established in 1943 with the aim of strengthening the integration of land and sea transportation as the Pacific War intensified. It was formed by reorganizing and integrating the Ministry of Railways, the Ministry of Communications, the Department of Warehousing (Ministry of Commerce and Industry), the Department of Ports and Harbors (Ministry of the Interior), and the Department of Meteorology (Ministry of Education). However, due to the complexity and size of the organization, it did not function adequately, so in 1945 the department of communications was separated and reorganized as the Ministry of Transport.

太平洋戦争の激化に伴う海陸輸送の一貫強化を目的とした行政官庁。1943年設置。鉄道省，逓信省および倉庫（商工省），港湾（内務省），気象（文部省）の各部門を改編統合したものだが，機構が複雑巨大化したため，十分に機能せず，1945年通信部門を切り離し運輸省に改編された。
