Awesome spot on a convenience store right before the IC booth, so you only get cars going on the national highway. My destination was Sendai and the driver was heading to Matsushima.―arcvelit

Lots of traffic headed to/from Ishinomaki, but be wary, many smaller villages no longer exist because of the tsunami so staying along the coast will net every limited traffic.―Anonymous

You can’t hitchhike to Yamagata on this road. It’s the city centre and all the cars use the middle and 3rd lanes to go to Yamagata, and drive fairly fast. After this point shortly the road goes underground and there’s no other spot other than inside the city. I found it impossible to hitchhike, took the bus to Yamagata for 1200 ten.―Lee

Good spot for heading towards Sendai. There's a traffic light, the cars go fairly slowly because they have to turn and there should be plenty of space to stop. Also easily accessible I think―Anonymous
