Makiyama Station (牧山駅, Makiyama-eki) is a passenger railway station located in the Takebe-chō neighborhood of Kita-ku of the city of Okayama, Okayama Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by West Japan Railway Company (JR West).[1]
Lines[edit]
Makiyama Station is served by the Tsuyama Line, and is located 11.4 kilometers from the southern terminus of the line at Okayama.
Station layout[edit]
The station consists of two ground-level opposed side platforms connected by a footbridge. The platform is narrow because the station is located along a cliff. Platform 2 is adjacent to the station building, which is little more than a waiting room. All trains normally use Platform 2 in both directions, unless trains moving in opposite directions are passing. The station is unattended.
