Izumi-Chūō Station (Miyagi)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Izumi-Chūō Station (泉中央駅 ;-eki) is a station on the Sendai City Subway Line in Izumi-ku, Sendai, Miyagi, Japan. In addition to being the northern-most subway station on the line, there is a large bus terminal for commuters to continue on towards the farthest reaches of Sendai, as well as neighboring towns such as Rifu and Tomiya.

Due to traffic congestion near the only exit of the original station, the city undertook a construction project to extend the underground passageway to an area which could facilitate more vehicles. That project was finished in 2005.
