Location
History
Ongagawa Station is a JR Kyushu station on the Kagoshima Main Line in Onga, Fukuoka Prefecture, 34.3 km from the line's start at Mojikō. The privately run Kyushu Railway opened it on 15 November 1890 as the northern terminus of a stretch from Kurume, and it became a through-station on 28 February 1891 when the line was extended to Kurosaki. The station was relocated to its current site on 1 July 1908 after the Onga River was straightened, and Japanese Government Railways took control upon Kyushu Railway nationalization on 1 July 1907. The current building opened on 31 July 2021 after a fire on 30 August 2017 destroyed the previous depot.
Notes
Ongagawa was once the junction for two now-vanished branch lines: the Muroki Line, which opened from the station on 1 July 1908 and closed on 1 April 1985, and the Ashiya Line to Chikuzen-Ashiya, which opened on 4 March 1947 and closed on 1 June 1961.
