Location

History

Nigatake Station opened on 8 February 1943 on the privately run Miyagi Electric Railway, replacing the earlier Shinden Station which had stood further to the northeast; the relocation was intended to serve workers at the Tokyo First Army Arsenal Sendai Works in the Nigatake district. The Miyagi Electric Railway was nationalised on 1 May 1944, and the station was rebuilt on a viaduct on 20 January 1966. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR East. Suica acceptance began on 26 October 2003, and lifts to the platforms were added in December 2006. From April 2010 station operations have been contracted out to a JR East subsidiary.
