Location
History
Asakuragaidō Station opened on 12 April 1924 on the Kyushu Railway, the predecessor of the Nishitetsu Tenjin Ōmuta Line. From the same day, the Asakura light railway treated it as a transfer point between Futsukaichi and Harisuri-tōge, until that parallel light railway suspended services in 1939 and closed in April 1940. The station became part of Nishi-Nippon Railway on 22 September 1942 and was upgraded to an express stop on 1 March 1969. The current station building dates to a 1974 rebuild, and nimoca IC service began on 18 May 2008. Station numbering as T15 followed on 1 February 2017.
Notes
The station name refers to the Asakura Highway, the local name for Fukuoka Prefectural Route 112, which crosses the Tenjin Ōmuta Line at the level crossing in front of the station. A light railway, the Asakura Kidō, ran along that road from 1908 until it closed in 1940, and the station was established as the transfer point between the two.
