Ōnoshimo Station (大野下駅, Ōnoshimo-eki) is a railway station located in the city of Tamana, Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by JR Kyushu.[1][2]
Lines
[edit]The station is served by the Kagoshima Main Line and is located 164.1 km from the starting point of the line at Mojikō.[3] Local and rapid services on the line stop at the station.
Layout
[edit]The station consists of two side platforms serving two tracks. The station building is a modern concrete structure which houses a ticket window and a waiting room. There is also an exhibition area featuring artefacts, pictures and part of the roof of the old station building. The roof exhibit has bullet marks caused by a strafing run against the station by a U.S. Lockheed P-38 Lightning fighter during the Second World War. Access to the opposite side platform is by means of a footbridge. The station is not staffed by JR but some types of tickets are available from a kan'i itaku agent who staffs the ticket window.[2][3][4][5]
