Chikuzen-Yamae Station (筑前山家駅, Chikuzen-Yamae-eki) is a railway station on the Chikuho Main Line operated by JR Kyushu in Chikushino, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan.^[1]^[2]

Lines[]

The station is served by the Chikuhō Main Line and is located 61.4 km from the starting point of the line at Wakamatsu.^[3]

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.^[2]^[3]

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.^[4]^[5]
