Location
History
Befu Station opened on 3 February 2005 with the Fukuoka City Subway Nanakuma Line, designed between May 2001 and March 2002 and built from January 2003 to July 2004. It has been a business-outsourced station since opening under Tenjin-Minami's managed area, with JR Kyushu Service Support handling operations. The single island platform with two tracks sits beneath National Route 202 in Jōnan Ward, at 243 m the longest station on the 16-station Nanakuma Line. The station code is N10, and the name is read "Befu."
Notes
The Jōnan Ward Office just north of exit 3 stands on the site of Torikai Station on the JNR Chikuhi Line, closed in 1983, some 22 years before the subway opened; the nearby Befu-ōhashi overpass is itself a leftover of the bridge where Befubashi-dōri once crossed the railway tracks.
