is a passenger railway station located in the city of Shibushi, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by JR Kyushu and is on the Nichinan Line.[1]
The station is the southern terminus of the Nichinan Line and is located 88.9 km from the opposing terminus of the line at .
The station consists of a single side platform one track, and four side tracks. The current station building and platform were newly built exclusively for the Nichinan Line in 1990 after the abolishment of the Shibushi Line and Osumi Line. The station building stands at right angles to the platform, as it is a terminal station. It is unattended. The current station platform was constructed using the old station freight siding, so the current station building is located approximately 70 meters northeast of the site of the old station building. It was rebuilt with its orientation changed 90 degrees as shown above. As a result, the Nichinan Line has been shortened by approximately 40 meters towards the starting point (toward Osumi-Natsui Station).[2] [3] Shibushi City Tourist Information Center is located within the station.
Japanese Government Railways (JGR) had opened Shibushi Station on 30 March 1925. The route was designated the Nichinan Line on 8 May 1963. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Kyushu.[4]
In fiscal 2015, the station was used by an average of 25 passengers per day.
