Izumi-ku

Izumi-ku is the northernmost ward of Sendai, blending residential neighborhoods, shopping centers, and manufacturing zones with forested hillsides. The area spans a broad territory that forms the city's northern boundary and includes both developed districts and natural terrain.

The ward began as an independent city before merging into Sendai in 1988, which restructured its local governance. This integration marked a turning point in how the territory was administered.

The ward maintains twenty-nine elementary schools and seventeen junior high schools, forming an educational network that serves over 215,000 residents.

Izumi-chuo Station marks the northern terminus of the Namboku subway line and connects to various bus services for surrounding areas. The station serves as a main transportation hub for moving through and beyond the ward.

The Izumi Parktown Industrial Park hosts technology manufacturers and plays a significant role in the region's economic growth. This specialized industrial zone attracts companies operating on an international scale.
