Akita Shinkansen (E6 series)
- Tokyo - Akita
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.
