At a ceremony on Sunday morning, the governor of the northern Aomori prefecture, Shingo Mimura, pushed a button to blast away the last 1m-thick bedrock in the Hakkoda mountains.
The project to extend the bullet train to Aomori has been an expensive engineering challenge, our correspondent says, which has required digging two record-breaking tunnels under the mountains.
Critics have complained that the project is a waste of money, as Aomori is a lightly populated area - they argue that two giant undersea tunnels built in Japan in the 1980s at a cost of many billions of dollars have done little to lift the economies of the areas they connected.
