• Sendai Tozai Line: Kawauchi (Miyagi) ⇄ Omachi Nishi-koen

International Center Station opened on 6 December 2015 with the rest of the Sendai City Subway Tōzai Line. Built into the river terrace of the Hirose River, the station sits where the tracks cross from Ōmachi-Nishi-Kōen via the Nishi-Kōen viaduct and the Hirose River bridge and then enter underground at the bluff. The building covers 4,310 m² over two above-ground floors and one basement; the second-floor public space was named Aoba-no-Kaze Terrace through a public competition in 2016. A secondary name, Sendai-jō-ato Iriguchi (Sendai Castle Site Entrance), reflects its role as the access station for the castle ruins and the Sendai International Center. A figure-skating monument honouring Sendai natives Shizuka Arakawa and Yuzuru Hanyū, both Olympic gold medallists, was installed in front of the station on 18 April 2017.

In March 2015, before the station opened to passengers, the building was pressed into service as the reception venue for the Third UN World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction.
