Location
History
Igaya Station opened on 1 December 1928, when Japanese Government Railways added it as a new station on the existing Nagasaki Main Line, in the Hyōgo neighbourhood of the city of Saga, Saga Prefecture. The station lies 20.2 km from the Tosu starting point of the line. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987, control passed to JR Kyushu, which still operates it. The unstaffed station has two side platforms linked by a footbridge, served by a small concrete building that doubles as a waiting room and houses an automatic ticket vending machine.
Notes
The Igaya Tenman-gū shrine, dedicated to the deified Heian-era scholar Sugawara no Michizane, sits a short walk from the station, as does the Saga Vocational Ability Development Promotion Center.
