History

Umebayashi Station opened on 3 February 2005 as part of the inaugural batch of stops on the Fukuoka City Subway Nanakuma Line in Jōnan-ku, Fukuoka. Implementation design ran from June 2000 to February 2001, with construction by a Maeda–Chizaki–Yahagi joint venture from March 2003 to July 2004. A bicycle and motorcycle parking area opened in February 2007. The single-island-platform underground station occupies the southernmost subway position in Japan, and its character wall uses light-mauve granite. Despite steady growth in ridership since opening, Umebayashi remains the least-used station on the Nanakuma Line and the lowest in the entire Japanese subway network.

Notes

Umebayashi is the southernmost subway station in Japan; the station symbol depicts a plum blossom matching the place name's literal meaning, "plum grove".
