Location
History
Takaiwa Station opened on 11 March 1989 as a station on the Matsuura Railway Nishi-Kyūshū Line, in Ogawachi, Emukae-chō, Sasebo, Nagasaki Prefecture.
Notes
Takaiwa is a small unstaffed single-side station with no station building but a waiting room and a toilet. It is named for the Takaiwa cliff — about 30 metres high and one of the eight scenic views of Hirado (Hirado-Hakkei), of which the whole face is visible from the platform — and stands along National Route 204; the line crosses the Emukae River just east of the station on its way to Emukae-Shika-machi.
