Morioka Station (盛岡駅 Morioka-eki?) is a railway station in the city Morioka, Iwate Prefecture, Japan operated by JR East.
Morioka Station is a major junction station, and is served by both the Tōhoku Shinkansen and the Akita Shinkansen. It is located 535.3 km from Tokyo Station. Local JR East services are provided by the Tohoku Main Line, Tazawako Line and Yamada Line, all of which terminate at Morioka Station. The station is also the southern terminus of the third-sector Iwate Ginga Railway Line.
The station has three elevated island platforms for Shinkansen services, and four island platforms for local services. The station has a Midori no Madoguchi staffed ticket office.
The station was opened on November 1, 1890, by Japan's first private railway company, Nippon Railway. The line was nationalized in 1906. Services on the Tazawako Line started in 1921, on the Yamada line in 1923, the Tohoku Shinkansen in 1982 and the Akita Shinkansen in 1997. The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of the Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987.
