Lines

Shin-Aomori Station is the northern terminus of the Ōu Main Line from Template:STN via Template:STN (a distance of Template:Cvt), although most trains continue to Template:STN. It also forms the northern terminus of the high-speed Tōhoku Shinkansen line from Template:STN (a distance of Template:Cvt), operated by JR East, and the starting point of the Hokkaido Shinkansen to Template:STN (a distance of Template:Cvt), operated by JR Hokkaido.

Station layout

The conventional Ōu Main Line has a single island platform, serving two tracks. In addition to regular Ōu Main Line trains, the station serves two round-trips per day of Aoimori Railway trains, as well as two round-trips of the irregular Resort Asunaro (direct to Noheji and the Ōminato Line). Upon the opening of the Tōhoku Shinkansen extension on 4 December 2010, the station became the southern terminus of Hakuchō Limited express services to Hakodate via the Tsugaru Kaikyō Line, which ceased upon commencement of the Hokkaidō Shinkansen in March 2016.

The Shinkansen portion of the station, which opened on 4 December 2010, consists of two elevated island platforms serving four tracks. The platforms are 263 meters long and capable of handling 10-car trains.[1] The station has a Midori no Madoguchi staffed ticket office.

Previously, Shin-Aomori Station was an unstaffed station consisting of a single side platform for bi-directional traffic.

Shin-Aomori Station opened on 1 November 1986 as a station on the Japanese National Railways (JNR). With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, it came under the operational control of JR East. Work on a new station building began in July 2007, and was completed in 2010 ahead of the opening of the Tōhoku Shinkansen extension on 4 December 2010.

The Hokkaido Shinkansen to Template:STN opened on 26 March 2016, and is being extended to Template:STN, due to open in 2031. Shinkansen services replaced the former Hakucho and Super Hakucho limited express services from March 2016.
