The Akita Shinkansen runs between Tokyo and Akita. Operation began in 1997 after the section between Morioka and Akita on the Tazawako Line and Ōu Main Line was converted to allow the Shinkansen to pass directly through.
In 2014, the E6 series trains replaced all of the trains from the previous series.
The following train types operate on the Akita Shinkansen.
The E6 series is a type of train operating on the Akita Shinkansen, connecting Shinkansen and conventional routes without needing to change lines. The interior facilities place an emphasis on universal design and security measures. Car no. 12 has a large restroom which is accessible to electric mobility scooters. Other features include large full-color LED information displays as well as security cameras inside the cars and in the areas at both ends of the cars.
