Buzen-Kawasaki Station (豊前川崎駅, Buzen-Kawasaki-eki) is a passenger railway station located in the town of Kawasaki, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by JR Kyushu. [1]

Lines

[edit]

The station is served by the Hitahikosan Line and is located 34.7 km from the starting point of the line at Jōno.[2] One train per hour stops at the station during the daytime, increased to two per hour during the morning and evening peaks.

Layout

[edit]

The station consists of one side platform serving a single bi-directional track. It was originally constructed to have a side and island platform to serve three tracks; however, after the Yamada Line was discontinued in 1988 the station was downsized and the station building rebuilt. The station is staffed.[2]

History

[edit]

The station opened on 10 July 1899 as Kawasaki Station (川崎駅, Kawasaki-eki) on the Hōshū Railway. The railway was acquired by the Kyushu Railway in 1901 and nationalized in 1907. It was renamed 1 May 1945. On 1 April 1987, with the privatisation of the JNR, the station came under the control of JR Kyushu.
