Location
History
Maidashi-Kyūdai-byōin-mae Station opened on 27 April 1984 as the original terminus of the Fukuoka City Subway Line 2 extension from Gofukumachi. It became a through-station on 31 January 1986 when the line was extended onward to Hakozaki-Kyūdai-mae, and the line was rebranded as the Hakozaki Line on 3 March 1993. Operation was outsourced from 1 July 2004. The station sits on the second basement level with a single island platform serving two tracks. The 16-kana name is the longest reading of any Japanese subway station, and a stub crossover toward Chiyo-Kenchōguchi allows emergency terminating workings when service east of here is suspended.
Notes
At sixteen kana, Maidashi-Kyūdai-byōin-mae has the longest yomi of any subway station name in Japan.
