• Sendai Tozai Line: Aobayama

Yagiyama Zoological Park Station opened on 6 December 2015 as the western terminus of the Sendai Subway Tōzai Line, carrying the station number T01. It sits in Yagiyama-Honmachi in Taihaku Ward, beneath the planned Kawauchi-Hatatate road, and is named for the adjacent Sendai Yagiyama Zoological Park. At a rail level of 136.4 metres, it ranked at opening as Japan's highest-altitude underground station — a Japan Subway Association designation it lost when the Hokushin Kyūkō line transferred to the Kobe Subway in June 2020, putting Tanigami Station first overall, though Yagiyama retains the title among purely underground stations. A seven-level (five above ground, two below) integrated parking and park-and-ride structure capable of holding 519 vehicles adjoins the station, topped by an observation deck named "Yagiyama Teppen Hiroba".

All eastbound services on the Tōzai Line begin here — arriving trains turn straight around to head for Arai, the line's eastern terminus.
