Aomori to Iwate Train
Traveling from Aomori to Iwate predominantly features the Limited Express trains, notably the Super Hakucho and the Hayabusa services.

The Hayabusa, which is part of the Shinkansen network, can achieve speeds of about 320 km/h (199 mph) but typically does not serve the local segment directly between Aomori and Iwate, with its primary focus on long-distance travel south to Tokyo.
