History
Nagamachi-Itchōme Station opened on 1987-07-15 with the inaugural section of the Sendai Subway Namboku Line, in Taihaku-ku, Sendai. It is numbered N14, lies beneath the former National Route 4 alignment, and has a single island platform. The planning name was "Hirosebashi Station", but residents felt that name belonged more naturally north of the Hirose River bridge, and the station opened under its current name. Platform-edge doors began operating on 2009-11-07. After Sendai City Hospital moved nearby, a new south exit (S2) opened on 2014-08-11 and the "Shiritsu Byōin-mae" (City Hospital Front) subname was reassigned from Itsutsubashi Station to this station on 2014-11-01.

Notes
The station's north-1 exit leads directly to RIPPLE, a live-music venue inside the underground station premises — an unusual case of a club integrated into a subway entrance.
