History
The Script error: No such module "Nihongo". was first introduced on 1 October 1954 as an express service operating between Template:STN in Tokyo and Template:STN via Template:STN and Template:STN. From 19 November 1956, the train was amended to run via Template:STN and Akita. This service was discontinued from the start of the revised timetable on 1 December 1993.[6]
The Tsugaru name was revived from 1 December 2002 as a limited express service operating between Template:STN and Template:STN, superseding the former Hatsukari limited express service which ran between Template:STN and Aomori up until the opening of the Tōhoku Shinkansen extension to Hachinohe.[7] Services were formed of 6-car 485-3000 series and E751 series EMUs based at Aomori depot, with JR Hokkaido 789 series EMUs used on some services.[8]
From 4 December 2010, with the opening of the Tōhoku Shinkansen extension from Hachinohe to Template:STN, the Tsugaru services were amended to operate between Aomori and Akita, replacing the Kamoshika and Inaho services that previously ran on this route.[1] From this date, services were formed of shortened 4-car 485-3000 series EMUs, with the E751 series EMUs temporarily removed from service.[9]
