Aoba-dōri Station (あおば通駅, Aoba-dōri-eki) is a JR East railway station located in Aoba-ku in Sendai, Miyagi. Its official English name is Aobadori Avenue.[1]

There is a direct transfer gate between the platform of this station to the platform of the Sendai Subway Namboku Line in Sendai Station. The Sendai Subway Tōzai Line is connected through the platform of the Namboku Line. Before the extension of the Senseki Line from Sendai Station, passengers from the subway would have to disembark and walk a good distance to the Senseki Line platform in Sendai Station. It is the departure station for the Mangattan, a "manga train" that runs every Sunday with manga characters from Shotaro Ishinomori's work decorated on the body of the train.[2]
