History

Tomizawa Station opened on 15 July 1987 as the southern terminus of the Sendai Subway Namboku Line, carrying the station number N17. It sits in Taihaku Ward, with the Tomizawa depot directly to the south where the Namboku Line's rolling stock is stabled. The station is elevated, with a single island platform on the third floor and ticket gates on the second; one track is alighting-only, and turning trains shuttle via a layover siding parallel to the depot approach. A 2008–2009 rebuild moved the ticket gates from the first to the second floor and added new exits and a station-front plaza, with the east plaza completed in March 2014. Platform doors were activated on 17 October 2009.

Notes

A predecessor "Tomizawa" station once stood on the long-gone Akiu Stone Tramway from 1914, but it was renamed Nishitaga in 1935 and the line itself closed in 1961.
