Approximately 18 years after the opening of the Tokaido Shinkansen in 1964,

the Tohoku Shinkansen opened between Omiya and Morioka on June 23, 1982.

This video introduces the express, limited express, and overnight trains that departed from Ueno Station on the eve of the Tohoku Shinkansen's opening.

It showcases express trains heading north of Sendai on the Tohoku Main Line and Joban Line, which were affected by the Tohoku Shinkansen.

At that time, Ueno Station was a major hub for long-distance trains heading to Tohoku and Hokkaido via the Tohoku Main Line, Joban Line, and Ou Main Line.

We look back at many famous trains that connected the Tohoku region during the Showa era, including express trains such as "Hatsukari," "Hibari," "Yamabiko," "Tsubasa," and "Hitachi," as well as sleeper express trains and overnight express trains, based on the timetables, operating sections, and departure times of the time.

The long-distance train network centered around Ueno Station would change dramatically with the opening of the Tohoku Shinkansen. Enjoy the golden age of railways in the Showa era, just before the opening of the Shinkansen.
