Since the opening of the Tohoku shinkansen extension from Morioka (p251) to Hachinohe (p254) in 2002, the stretch of non-bullet train track between the two places has been handed over to the private sector.
This section of track has been divided into two parts, with the journey between Morioka and Metoki operated by Iwate Ginga Railway, and Metoki to Hachinohe in the hands of Aoi-Mori Railway.
This means that Japan Rail Pass holders have to pay a supplement to use the ordinary rail line between Morioka and Hachinohe.
