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

Lines

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.

Station layout

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.

History

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.

Station numbering was introduced on 28 September 2018 with Chikuzen-Yamae being assigned station number JG04.

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2016, the station was used by an average of 25 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).
