Misakigaoka Station (美咲が丘駅, Misakigaoka-eki) is a passenger railway station located in the city of Itoshima, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by JR Kyushu.[1][2]

Lines

[edit]

The station is served by the Chikuhi Line and is located 14.3 km from the starting point of the line at Meinohama.[3] Only local services on the Chikuhi Line stop at this station.[4]

Station layout

[edit]

The station consists of a side platform serving a single track. The station building is a modern structure in elevated format. It resembles a vertical red barrel built over the track and houses the ticket window. From there a flight of steps leads down to the platform. There are two entrances to the barrel shaped station building. From the access road, a flight of steps leads up to the red barrel. A second entrance is located in the environs of a residential area south of the station on higher ground. Here the entrance is a yellow tube-shaped tunnel which leads to a fight of steps connecting to the red barrel. Unlike most hashigami designs, it is not possible to enter the station building from the other side of the tracks.[3][2][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 POS machine but does not have a Midori no Madoguchi facility.[6][7]
