Hainuzuka Station (羽犬塚駅, Hainuzuka-eki) is a passenger railway station located in the city of Chikugo, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by JR Kyushu.[1][2]
Lines
[edit | edit source]The station is served by the Kagoshima Main Line and is located 126.1 km from the starting point of the line at Mojiko.[3]
Layout
[edit | edit source]The station consists of a side platform and an island platform serving three tracks at grade. The station building is built under the elevated tracks of the Kyushu Shinkansen which does not stop at the station. It houses a waiting room, a staffed ticket window and a mini-convenience store. Access to the island platform is by means of a footbridge which is equipped with elevators.[3][2][4][5]
Management of the station has been outsourced to the JR Kyushu Tetsudou Eigyou Co., a wholly owned subsidiary of JR Kyushu specialising in station services. It staffs the ticket counter which is equipped with a Midori no Madoguchi facility.[6][7]

History
[edit | edit source]The privately run Kyushu Railway had opened a stretch of track between Hakata and the (now closed) Chitosegawa temporary stop on 11 December 1889. After several phases of expansion northwards and southwards, by February 1891, the line stretched from Kurosaki south to Kurume. In the next phase of expansion, the track was extended south to Takase (now Tamana) opening as the new southern terminus on 1 April 1891. Hainuzuka was opened on the same day as one of several intermediate stations on the new stretch of track. When the Kyushu Railway was nationalized on 1 July 1907, Japanese Government Railways (JGR) took over control of the station. On 12 October 1909, the station became part of the Hitoyoshi Main Line and then on 21 November 1909, part of the Kagoshima Main Line. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, JR Kyushu took over control of the station.[8][9]
Passenger statistics
[edit | edit source]In fiscal 2020, the station was used by an average of 2205 passengers daily (boarding passengers only), and it ranked 63rd among the busiest stations of JR Kyushu.[10]
