Aoimori Railway Line
The Aoimori Railway Line (青い森鉄道線, Aoimori Tetsudō-sen) is a regional rail line in Aomori Prefecture, Japan that is operated by third-sector railway company Aoimori Railway Company. It connects Metoki Station in Sannohe, the terminal station of the Iwate Galaxy Railway Line, to Aomori Station in Aomori.
The Aoimori and Iwate Galaxy Railway Lines are former sections of the JR East Tōhoku Main Line (in Aomori Prefecture and Iwate Prefecture respectively) that connected Tokyo to Aomori. When the Tōhoku Shinkansen was opened (to Hachinohe on 1 December 2002 and to Shin-Aomori on 4 December 2010), the corresponding sections of the Tōhoku Main Line were transferred from East Japan Railway Company (JR East) to Aoimori Railway Company as the Aoimori Railway Line.
While local passenger services on the line are operated by Aoimori Railway Company, JR East operates the Shimokita Rapid train along part of the line, and Japan Freight Railway Company (JR Freight) (which owns a minority stake in Aoimori Railway Company) transports freight along the line. For maintenance work, the line relies on the services of the Hachinohe Rinkai Railway Company.
The Aoimori Railway Line is operated in two sections:
No services commence or terminate at Metoki - all trains operate a through service to/from Morioka on the Iwate Galaxy Railway Line.
JR East operates the Shimokita Rapid train between Hachinohe and Ōminato on the JR East Ōminato Line, using the Aoimori Railway Line between Hachinohe and Noheji. As of September 2025[update], three round trips per day operate.
All services operated by Aoimori Railway Company (and through services on the Iwate Galaxy Railway Line) are Local trains, stopping at every station.
The Aoimori Railway operates a fleet of 701 series two-car electric multiple units (EMUs). One set was built from new in September 2002, while eight more were transferred from JR East.
