Layoutedit
The Shinkansen portion of the station consists of two facing side platforms and two tracks located on the third floor of the station building. There are no passing tracks, and platform safety gates are installed for safety. The conventional line station consists of two island platforms with four tracks and one cutout platform with one track, for a total of three platforms and five tracks. There is also a siding track. The east side (station building side) platform has numbers 1 and 3, and the cutout platform number 2. Platforms 4 and 5 are located on the west side of the platform. The station has a Midori no Madoguchi staffed ticket office. [2][3]
By December 1889, the privately run Kyushu Railway had opened a stretch of track from Hakata to the (now closed) Chitosegawa temporary stop. In the next phase of expansion, the track was extended southwards to Kurume, which opened as the new southern terminus on 1 March 1890. Kurume became a through-station on 1 April 1891 when the track was further extended to Setaka. When the Kyushu Railway was nationalized on 1 July 1907, Japanese Government Railways (JGR) took over control of the station. On 12 October 1909, the station became part of the Hitoyoshi and Nagasaki Main Lines. On 21 November 1909, the Hitoyoshi Main Line was renamed the Kagoshima Main Line. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, JR Kyushu took over control of the station.[4][5]
