Location
History
Shin-Suya opened on 1 September 1984 on the Kumamoto Electric Railway Kikuchi Line, between Horikawa and Suya. On 1 April 2008 the station was relocated about 260 metres towards Suya to make way for an extension of National Route 3's Kumamoto Kita Bypass; the rebuild was designed under Japan's Transportation Barrier-Free Law and includes a pavement-to-platform ramp. Kumamoto regional IC Card service via the Kumamon IC Card began on 1 April 2015, and the station was assigned the number KD13 on 1 October 2019. The relocated stop is a single-side-platform unstaffed station with an IC reader at the platform entrance and no station building.
Notes
Both directions of the platform name-board are fitted with lamps which flash and chime an approach melody as a train nears.
