Location

History

Heiwadōri (station number 02 on the Kitakyushu Monorail's Kokura Line) sits in Sakaichō, Kokurakita-ku, Kitakyushu, and carries the subsidiary name Uomachi Shōtengai-mae. It opened on 9 January 1985 as the initial Kokura terminus when the monorail itself began service. When the line was pushed inside JR Kokura Station's building on 1 April 1998 it became an intermediate stop and was renamed Heiwadōri. mono SUGOCA contactless ticketing became available on 1 October 2015. The station is built on an elevated island platform with two tracks; because it was originally the line's terminus the section between Kokura and Heiwadōri is laid out as a pair of single tracks rather than a true double track.

Notes

Because the station was originally the line's terminus, the track between Heiwadōri and Kokura remains a pair of single tracks, and neither platform is dedicated to inbound or outbound trains — passengers check the indicator board to find their direction.
