I expect one of the biggest factors is population density.

California has a land area of 165,000mi^2. Japan has a land area of 145,000mi^2.

California population is 39M. Japan population is 125M.

Most of the people in CA are in the bottom left. No need for bullet train to Arcata. Though to Vegas would probably be profitable.
