Hakata South

Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Hakata-Minami Station opened on 1 April 1990 when JR West repurposed the access track to the Hakata Shinkansen depot as a passenger line. The single elevated side platform sits beside the depot in Kasuga, Fukuoka, and the station is the only stop on the 8.5 km Hakata-Minami Line other than its Hakata terminus. Although Shinkansen rolling stock is used, services are classed as conventional limited expresses, making the 130 yen express supplement from Hakata the cheapest such fare on JR. Ticket-window duties were initially outsourced to JR Kyushu and only became direct JR West operations from 2010.

The station is the only solo-operated JR West stop located outside Honshū, and trains here use Shinkansen rolling stock under a conventional-line limited-express fare.
