Chikuzen-Yamae Station (筑前山家駅, Chikuzen-Yamae-eki) is a passenger railway station located in the city of Chikushino, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by JR Kyushu [1] [2]
The station is served by the Chikuhō Main Line and is located 61.4 km (38.2 mi) from the starting point of the line at Wakamatsu. [3]
The station, which is unstaffed, consists of a side platform serving a single track. Across the track can be seen another, disused side platform as well as the track bed of a second track which has since been removed. A siding branches off the track and ends behind the platform and is used by track maintenance equipment. A small station building built in traditional Japanese style serves as a waiting room. A separate weather shelter is provided on the platform itself. [2] [3]
Japanese Government Railways (JGR) opened Chikuzen-Yamae on 7 December 1929 as an intermediate station when the track of Chikuho Main Line was extended to Haruda. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Kyushu. [4] [5]
Station numbering was introduced on 28 September 2018 with Chikuzen-Yamae being assigned station number JG04. [6]
In fiscal 2016, the station was used by an average of 25 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).
