Location
History
Higashi-Funaoka Station opened on 1 April 1968 as Yokohashi Station on the Maruko Line of Japanese National Railways, serving the town of Shibata in southern Miyagi. When the line was transferred to the third-sector operator Abukuma Express on 1 July 1986, the station was renamed Higashi-Funaoka and rebuilt as a passing point with two opposing platforms. It is unattended today, and its toilet block carries the distinctive Abukuma Express livery. The station promotes itself locally as a place known for cherry blossom and chrysanthemum displays, and it sits next to the JGSDF Camp Funaoka.
Notes
The toilets attached to the station are finished in a colour scheme imitating that of Abukuma Express Line trains.
