Get in

The most commonly used way should be the JR Yamada line, bringing you from Morioka to Miyako in around two hours. Bear in mind that there are only four to six round trips per day on the line. Seat reservations can be made on the rapid services.

There is also an hourly inbound bus from Morioka. Coming out of the main exit of the station cross the street to the bus terminal and wait at the bus stop furthest to the right.
