Takarabe Station: Difference between revisions
Added station history with sources |
Removed the fare section. These were good faith edits but the fare payment procedure applies to every unstaffed station and I think it is overly detailed for an article on a single station. Moreover, I have difficulty sourcing it. |

History
Takarabe was opened on 28 April 1929, Japanese Government Railways (JGR) as mthe southern terminus of the then Kokutō East Line (国都東線) from Nishi-Miyakonojō. It became a through-station on 1 November 1931 when the track was extended further south to Ōsumi-Ōkawara. By 1932, the track had beenm linked up with other networks north and south, and through traffic had been established from Kokura, through this station to Kagoshima. The station and the Kokutō East Line were then absorbed and were designated as part of the Nippō Main Line on 6 December 1932. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Kyushu.[2][3][4]
