Komachi at Omagari station.

The Akita Shinkansen (秋田新幹線) is a Mini-Shinkansen high-speed rail line on Honshu, the largest island of Japan. Serving the Kanto and Tohoku regions of the country, it links Tokyo Station and Akita Station (which is in the city of Akita, Akita Prefecture) with direct service. From Tokyo to Morioka (in Iwate Prefecture), it operates on the Tohoku Shinkansen tracks. From there to Omagari, it rides on the Tazawako Line tracks. The last segment of its journey takes place on the Oou Main Line.

Shinkansen - Simple English Wikipedia (790 words)
The Shinkansen are run by the many companies of Japan Railway (which in the past was called Japanese National Railways, but now is one group of private companies).
In contrast to the older lines, Shinkansen lines are standard gauge, and use tunnels and viaducts to go through and over obstacles, rather than around them.
Shinkansen trains now run regularly at speeds of up to 300 km/h (185 mph), putting them among the fastest trains running in the world, along with the French TGV and German ICE trains.
