Morioka Station is a large northern hub in Iwate servicing the Akita Shinkansen, Tohoku Main Line, Yamada Line, Iwate Ginga Railway Line. It is a station on JR East. Often trains will go from Tokyo to Morioka and then East to Akita and elsewhere. Many shops, cafes and artistic installments are set up in the station so even if you have a half an hour stop over, there is plenty to keep you entertained...but don't miss your train!
