Location
History
Shin-Aomori Station opened on 1 November 1986 as a small unstaffed halt on the Japanese National Railways' Ōu Main Line, established in the Ishie district of Aomori as a placeholder ahead of the long-delayed Tōhoku Shinkansen. With the JNR split on 1 April 1987 it passed to JR East. Work on a new depot began in 2007 and the building was completed in February 2010. On 4 December 2010 the Shinkansen reached Shin-Aomori, replacing the unstaffed stop with a staffed station and four-track elevated Shinkansen platforms. The Hokkaidō Shinkansen extension to Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto opened on 26 March 2016, making the station a JR East-JR Hokkaido boundary station.
Notes
Among Tōhoku Shinkansen stops, Shin-Aomori is the only one whose platforms offer a view of the sea.
