Location

History

Ishinomaki Station opened on 28 October 1912 as a station of the Senboku Light Railway, the predecessor of the Ishinomaki Line. On 22 November 1928 a second station opened nearby on the Miyagi Electric Railway, today's Senseki Line; it was renamed Miyaden-Ishinomaki Station in 1932. After the Miyagi Electric Railway was nationalised on 1 May 1944, both stations carried the name Ishinomaki Station but remained in separate buildings, forcing transferring passengers to leave one gate-line and enter the other. The two were finally consolidated into a single combined station on 21 July 1990. On 11 March 2011 the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami inundated the station and surrounding area; full service on the Senseki Line resumed on 30 May 2015, the same day the Senseki-Tōhoku Line opened with the station as its terminus.

Notes

The "Manga Road" leading from in front of the station is lined with statues of characters from the works of Shotaro Ishinomori, and statues of Cyborg 009 and Kamen Rider stand at the station entrance.
