Komachi Travel Times

Here is a summary of the travel times for each section of the Komachi.

Between Tokyo and Morioka, the Komachi is coupled with the Hayabusa and runs together. At Morioka, they separate, and the Komachi continues toward Akita.

Between Morioka and Akita, the train runs on conventional lines (the Tazawako Line and the Ōu Main Line), so the speed is reduced and the travel time is longer.
