Akita Rolling Stock Center

The Akita Rolling Stock Center contains multiple service bays and specialized tracks dedicated to the regular maintenance of regional passenger trains and carriages.

The facility became operational with the introduction of the Akita Shinkansen Line in 1997, marking the expansion of high-speed rail services to northern Japan.

The maintenance center supports the Akita Nairiku Line, which connects communities across the prefecture and maintains local railway traditions through direct passenger interactions.

Located near Kakunodate Station, the center ensures the mechanical reliability of trains operating on multiple routes, including the Akita Shinkansen to Tokyo.

The center maintains trains specifically designed with large windows to showcase northern Japan's seasonal changes, from autumn colors to winter snowscapes.
