Location
History
Design work for Hashimoto Station ran from 22 April 2000 to 5 February 2001 (Nishijima Architectural Design Office), with construction by the Fujita–Koga joint venture from 27 November 2002 to 31 May 2004. The station opened on 3 February 2005 as the western terminus of the Fukuoka City Subway Nanakuma Line — station number N01 — making it the westernmost subway station in Japan. It has been a contracted station (operated by Nippon Express's Fukuoka branch) from opening. On 1 April 2019 management of Chayama Station was transferred from the Tenjin-Minami district station to the Hashimoto district station, which manages the section between Hashimoto and Chayama.
Notes
The station's symbol mark combines Iimori-yama with maple leaves, recalling the former Momiji-Hachimangū shrine in Hashimoto. The original symbol designer Isao Nishijima — who had designed the Kūkō Line and Hakozaki Line symbols — died in 2001, and his son Masayuki Nishijima, also a graphic designer, completed it from earlier drafts. The roof's round form was designed to evoke the Iimori-yama ridgeline, and the 'individualised wall' surfaces are clad in a blue-green slate ('Streaky Verde', 400 × 400 × 14 mm) chosen to suggest rock face. As one of the few Fukuoka subway stations with free bicycle parking, the station deliberately caters to commuters arriving from outside the immediate area.
