History

Ishinomakiayumino Station is a single-platform halt on the Senseki Line between Rikuzen-Akai and Hebita, 45.2 km from the Aoba-dōri terminus. It originated as a long-standing community request — initially called the provisional "Yanagi-no-me Station" — that was shelved by the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. After the Shin-Hebita district was selected as a resettlement site for displaced residents, Ishinomaki and JR East agreed on a new station in November 2013. The city covered the roughly 482 million yen construction cost, and the station opened on 26 March 2016. Senseki-Tōhoku Line trains began stopping here in 2017.

Notes

The station's name encodes a wish that local residents will keep "walking" (ayumi) forward into a rebuilt future after the 2011 disaster.
