The Tohoku Shinkansen is a high-speed railway affiliated with the East Japan Railway Line that connects Marunouchi-chome Tokyo Station in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, with Shin-Aomori Station in Aomori City, Aomori Prefecture. Because the Line is shared between Tokyo Station and Omiya Station on the Joetsu Shinkansen, it is sometimes referred to collectively as "Tohoku · Joetsu Shinkansen".
After the opening of the Tohoku Shinkansen on December 4, 2010, the former Tohoku Main Line of the East Japan Railway between Morioka Station and Aomori Station was converted into the IWATE Galaxy Railway Line and the Aomori Railway Line.

The Tohoku Shinkansen runs near Oji Station
The Tohoku Shinkansen and Tokaido Shinkansen, which are located at Tokyo Station, do not run directly because there is no connecting line. In February 1970, prior to the establishment of the National Shinkansen Preparation Act, the "Shinkansen Construction Committee" was established to investigate and deliberate on the construction and operation of the Shinkansen. The terminus of the Joetsu Shinkansen and Tokaido Shinkansen should be shared to achieve through operation. After that, we developed a prototype tram that can run through multiple power supply frequencies, and tested it on the Sanyo Shinkansen and Tohoku Shinkansen before the opening.
However, after the opening of the Tohoku Shinkansen between Omiya Station and Morioka Station in 1982, the construction of Tokyo Station connecting the Tokaido Shinkansen was postponed until 1991 due to the construction of the south of Omiya Station. During this period, in 1987, due to the privatization of the national railway division, the Tohoku Shinkansen was divided into JR East, and the Tokaido Shinkansen was divided into JR Tokai. Because it is difficult to unify the willingness to ride between the two, the concept of direct operation has disappeared. In addition, problems such as accounting problems, differences in power frequency security devices, timetable problems, and the impact of delays in the Tohoku Shinkansen on the Tokaido Shinkansen (and vice versa) have all become obstacles to the direct operation of both sides.
The Tohoku Shinkansen runs through the tohoku region of Honshu Island, Japan, promoting local transportation while driving the development of the surrounding economy and promoting the flow of people in Japan.
