History
Miyaginohara Station opened on 1 January 1926 as a stop on the Miyagi Electric Railway. The line was nationalised on 1 May 1944 and the station passed to JR East on the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987. On 11 March 2000 the station was relocated underground, with the new platforms about 150 metres southeast of the former above-ground location, as part of the Senseki Line city-centre tunnel project. A dedicated departure melody — the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles' team song "Habatake Rakuten Eagles" — was introduced on 26 March 2010 in keeping with the station's role as the closest stop to the Rakuten Mobile Park Miyagi baseball stadium.
