• Tōhoku Shinkansen: Shin-Aomori ⇄ Hachinohe

Shichinohe-Towada Station opened on 2010-12-04 alongside the Tōhoku Shinkansen's extension from Hachinohe to Shin-Aomori. Roadbed work began in October 2005, the building's design was finalised in 2007, and construction started in August 2008. A station-name announcement on 2009-07-29 confirmed the provisional Shichinohe would be replaced by Shichinohe-Towada to emphasise its role as a gateway to Lake Towada. The Tōhoku earthquake on 2011-03-11 suspended service until 2011-03-21. From 2013-03-16 every Hayabusa service began stopping here. New IC and ticketless services followed in 2020 and 2021, with Eki-net Q Chiket added on 2024-10-01.

The depot was the first Shinkansen station designed with three boxes of differing sizes; the central one is meant to evoke the silhouette of the Hakkōda mountains.
