Ōga Station (大神駅, Ōga-eki) is a passenger railway station located in the town of Hiji, Ōita Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by JR Kyushu.[1][2]
Lines
[edit]The station is served by the Nippō Main Line and is located 103.3 km from the starting point of the line at Kokura.[3]
Layout
[edit]The station consists of an island platform serving two tracks at grade. The station building is a modern concrete structure which houses an enclosed waiting room and a staffed ticket window. Access to the island platform is by means of a level crossing with steps at both ends.[2][3]
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 booth which is equipped with a POS machine but does not have a Midori no Madoguchi facility.[4][5]
