There was once a plan to use the Nanbu Jūkan Railway to connect the Tōhoku Shinkansen with Noheji or Mutsu, but the railway was closed before the construction of the Tōhoku Shinkansen started.
History[edit]
Shichinohe Station opened on 20 October 1962 as the southern terminus of the Nanbu Jūkan Railway. The final services to and from the station were carried out on 6 May 1997 when the railway ceased operations. On 1 August 2002, the station formally closed. The station is currently maintained by the railway enthusiast volunteers and is the headquarters of the Nanbu Jūkan Company.[1]
