History
Semine Station opened on 16 April 1890 on the Tōhoku Main Line, and now lies 407.8 rail kilometres from the line's official starting point at Tokyo Station. Between 1921 and 1968 the station also served the now-defunct Senboku Railway. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987, operation passed to the East Japan Railway Company (JR East). Located in the city of Kurihara, Miyagi Prefecture, the station has a side platform and an island platform connected to the station building by a footbridge, and offers a staffed Midori no Madoguchi ticket office.
