Location

History

Kurokamimachi Station opened on 25 October 1951 and is the sole intermediate stop on the Kumamoto Electric Railway Fujisaki Line, 1.2 km from the line's starting point at Kita-Kumamoto. The station sits in Chūō-ku of Kumamoto City and consists of a single side platform at grade with no permanent ticket office. Because the surrounding district hosts several high schools, station staff are temporarily dispatched from Kita-Kumamoto on weekday mornings during the school year to handle the heavy commuter flow; outside those hours the station is unattended. The regional Kumamon IC CARD became accepted on 1 April 2015, and station numbering KD07 was introduced on 1 October 2019.

Notes

Because three high schools cluster within walking distance, Kurokamimachi is one of the few stations on the line where staff are dispatched purely to manage student rush hours, then withdrawn for the rest of the day.
