Location

History

Jōno Station is a JR Kyushu junction station in Kokuraminami-ku, Kitakyushu, on the Nippō Main Line 6.1 km from Kokura, and is also the northern terminus of the 39.4 km Hitahikosan Line to Soeda, though most Hitahikosan Line trains continue beyond it along the Nippō Main Line to terminate at Kokura. It opened on 1 April 1895 as a Kyushu Railway station; that company was nationalized in 1907, and JR Kyushu inherited the station at privatization on 1 April 1987. A new bridge-style station building opened on 6 December 2014 alongside a north–south concourse, and the station returned to direct JR Kyushu operation on 1 October 2023.

Notes

Even though Jōno is the nominal starting point of the Hitahikosan Line, every scheduled Hitahikosan service runs on over the Nippō Main Line to start and end at Kokura, 6.1 km away, so the line has no trains that actually terminate at its own endpoint.
