Senzan Line
Encyclopedia
The is a railway line in Japan. Part of the East Japan Railway Company
(JR East) system, it runs from Sendai Station
in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture
to Yamagata Station
in Yamagata
, acting as a connector between the Tōhoku Main Line/Tōhoku Shinkansen
and the Ōu Main Line
in southern Tōhoku. It also provides access to western Miyagi Prefecture and eastern Yamagata Prefecture
. It connects with the Tōhoku Shinkansen, Tōhoku Main Line and Senseki Line
at Sendai Station, the Ōu Main Line at Uzen-Chitose, Kita-Yamagata, and Yamagata Stations in Yamagata, Yamagata, the Aterazawa Line
at Kita-Yamagata and Yamagata Stations, and the Yamagata Shinkansen
at Yamagata Station.
In addition to these stops, the various Rapid trains will stop at all stations between:
At one point, there was a G-Rapid that stopped at the most stations out of all rapid trains, but was considered too confusing by passengers and soon put out of service. Instead, the number of Local Trains were increased. Until 2004, there were only three types of rapids (A, B, C). Also, until September 30, 2003, there was a Special Rapid "Holiday Senzan" that used to run on Saturdays and weekends.
With the opening of the Sendai Airport Line (established in 2006), the Senzan Line is expected to have Sendai Airport-bound trains. But they have not connected with the direct train of lapid service.
Local trains are scheduled around the rapid train schedules. However, trips to the Sakunami Hot Springs as well as the Yamadera temple well-known from Matsuo Bashō's
Oku no Hosomichi
are popular. Also, during the ski-season, the only way to get to places such as Omoshiroyama is the train and there are a great number of passengers during the tourist season.
There are two temporary stations, but as there have been no stops at Nishi-Sendai Hi-Land and Yatsumori since October 2004 and June 2003, respectively. They are now considered 'long-term inoperative' stations, and unlikely to be reactivated soon.
There used to be many more trains that utilized the Tōhoku Main Line's tracks, but the numbers have decreased in recent years. Past trains went to such places as Fukushima, Matsushima, and Kogota. After 2001, the numbers began going down until they reached two trains, which is the number today. It is expected that that number will increase in 2006, though, when the Sendai Airport Line opens.

Rapid
Most Senzan Line trains run as rapid trains. All trains stop at the following stations:- Sendai
- Kita-Sendai
- Kunimi
- Rikuzen-Ochiai
- Ayashi
- Omoshiroyama-Kōgen
- Yamadera
- Uzen-Chitose
- Kita-Yamagata
- Yamagata
In addition to these stops, the various Rapid trains will stop at all stations between:
- Rapid A: N/A
- Rapid B: Okunikkawa — Yamagata
- Rapid C: Sendai — Ayashi
- Rapid D: Rikuzen-Ochiai — Sakunami
- Rapid E: Ayashi — Yamagata
At one point, there was a G-Rapid that stopped at the most stations out of all rapid trains, but was considered too confusing by passengers and soon put out of service. Instead, the number of Local Trains were increased. Until 2004, there were only three types of rapids (A, B, C). Also, until September 30, 2003, there was a Special Rapid "Holiday Senzan" that used to run on Saturdays and weekends.
With the opening of the Sendai Airport Line (established in 2006), the Senzan Line is expected to have Sendai Airport-bound trains. But they have not connected with the direct train of lapid service.
Local
Today, local trains arrive in and depart from Sendai. When rapid trains aren't running, there are mainly Sendai — Yamagata local trains. There is also Sendai — Ayashi and Sendai — Sakunami service.Sendai — Ayashi
Since this part of the line is located in the central suburban area of Sendai, there are many commuters, and there are typically 2-4 Sendai — Ayashi trains every hour. Although there were fewer trains going from Ayashi to Sendai, the numbers have increased in recent years. The section is double-track and the interchange stations are Kita-Sendai, Kunimi, and Rikuzen-Ochiai. Presently, parts of the track are being elevated and there are plans to build a new station near the Shin-Ishinomaki Highway railroad crossing. Also, there are plans to build a new station in between Kita-Sendai and Kokumi as well as constructing a new welfare facility nearby.Ayashi — Yamagata
Before the abolition of the Saturday/weekend schedule, there was one Saturday/weekend return train from Sakunami that stopped at Nishi-Sendai Hi-Land, however, there have been no stops at Nishi-Sendai Hi-Land Station since 2004.Local trains are scheduled around the rapid train schedules. However, trips to the Sakunami Hot Springs as well as the Yamadera temple well-known from Matsuo Bashō's

Tōhoku Main Line
There are only two trains that share both the Senzan and Tōhoku Main Lines' tracks: Senzan Line 2832M, which runs from Sakunami Station to Sendai where it becomes 1428M and continues on the Tōhoku Main Line tracks until Iwanuma, and Tōhoku Main Line 425M, which originates in Shiroishi, changes to 1831M at Sendai, and continues on the Senzan Line tracks to Ayashi. The Sakunami — Iwanuma train only runs on Saturdays and weekends.There used to be many more trains that utilized the Tōhoku Main Line's tracks, but the numbers have decreased in recent years. Past trains went to such places as Fukushima, Matsushima, and Kogota. After 2001, the numbers began going down until they reached two trains, which is the number today. It is expected that that number will increase in 2006, though, when the Sendai Airport Line opens.
