Reiwa Costa Yukuhashi Station (令和コスタ行橋駅, Reiwa-Cosuta-Yukuhashi-eki) is a passenger railway station located in the city of Yukuhashi, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by the third-sector railway operator Heisei Chikuhō Railway.[1] A local supermarket chain, Costa Yukuhashi, acquired naming rights to the station.[2]

Lines

[edit]

Reiwa Costa Yukuhasha Station is served by the Tagawa and is located 1.3 km from the starting point of the line at Yukuhashi.[1] Trains arrive roughly every 30 minutes.[3]

Layout

[edit]

The station consists of one side platform serving a single bi-directional track. There is no station building, but only a shelter on the platform. The station is unattended.[1] The station is primarily made of locally acquired wood. The station building is built of hinoki cypress from the Keichiku area, while the floor and walls are built of Japanese cedar from the Chikuhō area. The station cost 96 million yen to complete.[4]

History

[edit]

The station was opened on 24 August 2019. A station at this site was slated to open in 2018, but the 2018 Japan floods delayed construction until 2019.[5] Due to the station being opened near the transition into the Reiwa era, the station appended "Reiwa" to the station name. Reiwa Costa Yukuhashi Station is also the first station opened during the Reiwa era.[5][6]
