Sugikawachi Station (杉河内駅, Sugikawachi-eki) is a railway station on the Kyūdai Main Line operated by JR Kyushu in the city of Hita, Ōita Prefecture, Japan.[1][2]
Lines
[edit]The station is served by the Kyūdai Main Line and is located 63.6 km from the starting point of the line at Kurume.[3]
Layout
[edit]The station consists of a side platform serving a single track on a side hill cutting overlooking the main road and a deep river valley. The station building, a modern structure built of timber, is unstaffed and serves only as a waiting room. From the access road, a flight of steps or a long slope leads up to the station building. Another ramp or flight of steps leads to a slightly higher level where the platform is located.[2][3][4]
History
[edit]Japanese National Railways (JNR) opened the station on 15 March 1957 as an additional station on the existing track of the Kyudai Main Line. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, JR Kyushu took over control of the station.[5]
Passenger statistics
[edit]In fiscal 2015, there were a total of 3,465 boarding passengers, giving a daily average of 10 passengers.[6]
