Izumi-Chūō Station (Miyagi)
Due to traffic congestion near the only exit of the original station, the city undertook a construction project to extend the underground passageway to an area which could facilitate more vehicles. That project was finished in 2005.
In May 2024, it was wrapped to commemorate Vegalta Sendai's 30th anniversary. (See Gallery for details)
