Nishi-Furukawa

Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Nishi-Furukawa Station opened on 20 April 1913 as Naka-Niida Station (中新田駅) on the Rikuu Line, in what is now Ōsaki, Miyagi Prefecture. The Sendai Railway, a light railway from Sendai, began operating into the station on 17 September 1929 and continued until that line closed on 1 May 1960. The station was renamed Nishi-Furukawa on 1 April 1957. Freight handling ceased on 30 November 1971 and parcel handling on 1 February 1984. The station was absorbed into the East Japan Railway Company (JR East) on 1 April 1987 and became unattended on 1 April 2005. Counter sales resumed on 1 April 2025 to serve students of the new Ōsaki Japanese Language School.

Because the station is the nearest one to the "Ōsaki Japanese Language School," the first public Japanese-language school on Honshu, which opened in 2025, ticket sales at the window by Ōsaki City staff were resumed.
