Location
History
Jinnoharu sits in Jinnoharu 1-chōme, Yahata-Nishi Ward, Kitakyushu, on the JR Kyushu Kagoshima Main Line, and carries station code JA20; the section is also branded as the Fukuhoku-Yutaka Line. The site had previously housed Higashi-Orio freight station (later a signal post) between 1961 and 1984. After it closed, urban-planning studies from 1988 onward identified the disused land for redevelopment under the city's 'Kitakyushu Renaissance Plan', with a new passenger station as a centrepiece. A construction committee was set up in 1994, and the station opened on 21 November 2000 with automatic ticket gates from day one. SUGOCA contactless ticketing was introduced on 1 March 2009.
Notes
The station's name comes from the local placename Jin-no-Haru, said to derive from a legend that the early courtier Takenouchi-no-Sukune set up a defensive camp on the site after hearing a suspicious voice while inspecting Tsukushi province.
