Doi Station (土井駅, Doi-eki) is a railway station on the Kashii Line operated by JR Kyushu in Higashi-ku, Fukuoka, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan.^[1]

Lines[]

The station is served by the Kashii Line and is located 16.4 km from the starting point of the line at Saitozaki.^[2]

Station layout[]

The station, which is unstaffed, consists of two side platforms serving two tracks. A station building, a modern concrete structure, houses a waiting area and automatic ticket vending machines. There is a ramp up to the station building from the main road but access to the opposite side platform is by means of a level crossing with steps onto the platforms at both ends. A designated waiting area is provided outside the station. The elevated tracks of the Sanyo Shinkansen run over a part of the station platforms.^[2]^[3]

History[]

The station was opened on 1 January 1904 by the private Hakata Bay Railway as an intermediate station on a track it opened between Saitozaki and Sue. On 19 September 1942, the company, now renamed the Hakata Bay Railway and Steamship Company, with a few other companies, merged into the Kyushu Electric Tramway. Three days later, the new conglomerate, which had assumed control of the station, became the Nishi-Nippon Railroad (Nishitetsu). On 1 May 1944, Nishitetsu's track from Saitozaki to Sue and the later extensions to Shinbaru and Umi were nationalized. Japanese Government Railways (JGR) took over control of the station and the track which served it was designated the Kashii Line. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, JR Kyushu took over control of the station.^[4]^[5]

On 14 March 2015, the station, along with others on the line, became a remotely managed "Smart Support Station". Under this scheme, although the station became unstaffed, passengers using the automatic ticket vending machines or ticket gates could receive assistance via intercom from staff at a central support centre.^[6]

Passenger statistics[]

In fiscal 2016, the station was used by an average of 1,364 passengers daily (boarding passengers only), and it ranked 129th among the busiest stations of JR Kyushu.^[7]
