Shiroishi is a rail city in southern Miyagi Prefecture, positioned between Sendai and Fukushima on Japan's northeastern rail corridor. The city has two main passenger stations: Shiroishi-Zao for Tohoku Shinkansen services and Shiroishi Station for conventional JR East regional trains. This station pairing gives Shiroishi a role as a local access point to the national high-speed network rather than a large urban terminal. Trains from Shiroishi include Yamabiko Tohoku Shinkansen services operated by JR East, plus local and regional trains on the Tohoku Main Line. Shiroishi-Zao handles bullet train stops on selected services, while Shiroishi Station serves regular rail travel within Miyagi and toward neighboring Fukushima Prefecture. Passengers should check the departure station carefully because the two stations are separate. Rail routes from Shiroishi run north toward Sendai, south toward Fukushima, Koriyama, Omiya, Ueno, and Tokyo, with local services linking nearby towns on the Tohoku Main Line. Train tickets from Shiroishi are most often used for travel along the Sendai-Fukushima-Tokyo axis, with transfers available at Sendai for northern Tohoku and at Tokyo for other Shinkansen lines.
