Yamashita Station (山下駅 Yamashita-eki?) is a railway station operated by JR East in Yamamoto, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. It has been closed since the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, when the station building was severely damaged and became unusable. JR East plans to move the station to a new location slightly farther inland, and aims to re-open the surrounding section of the Joban Line by 2017.[1]

History

Services on the Joban Line between Hamayoshida Station and Soma Station have been suspended due to damage caused by the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.
