Shin-Aomori Station is served by the Ōu Main Line, and is located 480.6 km from the southern terminus of the line at Fukushima Station. From 4 December 2010, it became the northern terminus of the Tōhoku Shinkansen.[1]

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 regular Aoimori Railway trains, as well two round-trips of the irregular Resort Asunaro (direct to Noheji and the Ōminato Line). With the opening of the Tōhoku Shinkansen extension on 4 December 2010, it is also the southern terminus of Hakuchō Limited express services to Hakodate via the Tsugaru Kaikyō Line.
The Shinkansen station, opened on 4 December 2010, consists of two island platforms serving four tracks. The platforms are 263 meters long and capable of handling 10-car trains.[2]
Previously, Shin-Aomori Station was an unmanned station consisting of a single side platform for bi-directional traffic.

History

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 Tohoku Shinkansen extension on 4 December.
Future developments
Plans exist to continue the shinkansen line to Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto as part of the Hokkaido Shinkansen by 2016, and eventually to Sapporo around 2030.
