Mitazono Station (Japanese: 美田園駅, Hepburn: Mitazono eki) is a railway station in the city of Natori, Miyagi, Japan, operated by third-sector railway operator Sendai Airport Transit (SAT).
Lines
[edit]Mitazono Station is served by the Sendai Airport Line and is 14.2 kilometres (8.8 mi) from Sendai and 3.8 kilometres (2.4 mi) from the terminus of the line at Sendai Airport.
Station layout
[edit]
The station consists of an elevated island platform serving two tracks, allowing trains to pass on the otherwise single line. Both tracks are bi-directional, with platform 2 used (mostly for Sendai-bound trains) only when trains cross here.
History
[edit]The station opened on 18 March 2007, coinciding with the opening of the Sendai Airport Line. The line was severely damaged by the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami and service was suspended indefinitely from 11 March 2011, not reopening until 1 October, nearly 7 months later.[1]
Passenger statistics
[edit]In fiscal 2018, the station was used by an average of 1,437 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).[2]
