Kōda Station (高田駅, Kōda-eki) is the railway station in Nagayo, Nishisonogi District, Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by JR Kyushu and is on the Nagasaki Main Line.[1][2]

Lines[]

The station is served by the old line or the Nagayo branch of the Nagasaki Main Line and is located 16.4 km from the branch point at Kikitsu.[3] Only local trains run on this branch.[4]

Station layout[]

The station consists of a side platform serving a single track on an embankment. A small station building houses a staffed ticket window and waiting area at the base of the embankment from which a covered flight of steps leads to the platform where a shelter is provided for waiting passengers. The station is equipped with a SUGOCA card reader.[3][2]

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 window which is equipped with a POS machine but does not have a Midori no Madoguchi facility.[5][6]
