Notes
Rakuten Mobile Park Miyagi is a walk away from Tsutsujigaoka, and the station displays themed décor for the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles' unofficial mascot "Mr. Carrasco"; the exit leading directly to the ballpark is painted in his signature purple and decorated with his image alongside the team logo.
