The 701 series is an AC electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated on local services by East Japan Railway Company (JR East) Aoimori Railway and Iwate Galaxy Railway (IGR) in Japan. The design is derived from the 209 series commuter EMU and was intended to replace locomotive-hauled trains formed of 50 series coaches in the north of Japan.
