Kouchiumi Station (小内海駅, Kouchiumi-eki) is a passenger

JR Kyushu and is on the Nichinan Line.[1][2]

Lines

The station is served by the Nichinan Line and is located 19.9 km from the starting point of the line at Minami-Miyazaki.[3] Only local trains stop at this station.

Layout

The station, which is not staffed, consists of a side platform serving a single track on a sidehill cutting grade. There is no station building, only a shelter on the platform for waiting passengers. From the access road, a flight of steps leads up to the platform. There is no station forecourt and no parking available for cars but a designated parking area for bicycles is provided near the steps.[2][3]

History

The private Miyazaki Light Railway (宮崎軽便鉄道) (later renamed the Miyazaki Railway) opened a line on 31 October 1913 between Minami-Miyazaki and Uchiumi (a station of the same name but at a different location from this present one). The line and its stations closed when the Miyazaki Railway ceased operations on 1 July 1962. Subsequently, Japanese National Railways (JNR) extended its then Shibushi Line north from Kitagō towards Minami-Miyazaki using largely the same route. The linkup, which included the reopening of several previously closed stations, was completed on 8 May 1963, and inc whereupon the route was renamed the Nichinan Line. Kouchiumi was one of several new intermediate stations which were opened on the same day. The platform was lengthened by 20 meters in 1978, giving it an effective length of 90 meters. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Kyushu.[4][5]

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2016, the station was used by an average of 6 passengers (boarding only) per day.[6]
