Location
History
Fukushima-Imamachi Station opened on 15 April 1935 as an intermediate stop on the then Shibushi Line, on the same day the line was extended north to its new terminus at Yowara. Located in Kushima in Miyazaki Prefecture, it sits 77.2 km from the line origin at Minami-Miyazaki. Freight handling ended on 1 May 1960 and baggage handling on 1 February 1984. The route was redesignated the Nichinan Line on 8 May 1963, and the station passed to JR Kyushu on 1 April 1987 with the privatisation of JNR. The unstaffed station has two side platforms linked by a level crossing and a substantial concrete-block station building used as a waiting room.
Notes
After a 2022 typhoon suspended part of the Nichinan Line, services between Nangō and Fukushima-Imamachi resumed on 21 January 2023, and the station became the temporary turnaround terminus for southbound trains, which ran only as far as here.
