is a passenger railway station located in the town of Kiyama, Saga Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by JR Kyushu. [1]
The station is served by the Kagoshima Main Line and is located 99.9 km from the starting point of the line at .[2]
The station consists of two opposed side platforms serving two tracks, connected by an elevated station, with brick-like walls and dome roof, that was inspired by Tokyo Station. At the time of opening, the only exit was on the west side. However, in later years, neighboring Ogori City paid for the entire cost of a pedestrian bridge over Japan National Route 3 on the east side of the station, which is in neighbouring Fukuoka Prefecture. The station is staffed.[2] The platforms were extended in March 2013 to enable 9-car trains to stop at the station from the start of the revised timetable on 16 March 2013.[3] [4]
The station was opened by JR Kyushu on 10 March 1990 as an added station on the existing Kagoshima Main Line track.[2]
In fiscal 2020, the station was used by an average of 1003 passengers daily (boarding passengers only), and it ranked 135th among the busiest stations of JR Kyushu.[5]
