Location
History
Takio Station is in Ōita City, Ōita Prefecture, on JR Kyushu's Hōhi Main Line 142.9 km from Kumamoto. The station opened on 1 April 1914 as an intermediate stop on the Inukai Light Rail Line (Inukai Keiben-sen), built westwards from Ōita to Nakahanda by the Railway Board. By 1928 the line had been extended west to meet the Miyaji Line reaching east from Kumamoto, and on 2 December 1928 the through route was redesignated as the Hōhi Main Line. Following the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987, control passed to JR Kyushu. The station was reduced to outsourced status in 1966 and made fully unstaffed in 1971; on 17 March 2018 it was converted to a "Smart Support Station" with intercom-based remote staff assistance.
Notes
The small ticket booth at Takio was recycled from Beppu-Daigaku Station on the Nippō Main Line — and although the lettering has been rewritten with "Takio Station", the original "Beppu-Daigaku Station" inscription remains faintly visible beneath.
