Location

History

Kushiwara Station opened on 12 April 1924 as a stop on the Kyushu Railway in what is now the city of Kurume, Fukuoka Prefecture. The Kyushu Railway merged with the Kyushu Electric Tramway on 19 September 1942, and three days later the combined operator renamed itself Nishi-Nippon Railroad (Nishitetsu); Kushiwara has remained on what is today the Nishitetsu Tenjin Ōmuta Line ever since, 37.7 km from the Nishitetsu Fukuoka (Tenjin) terminus. The station was de-staffed in April 2022 under Nishitetsu's centralised management system, and only local trains call at its two side platforms.

Notes

Although the station's name is read as Kushiwara, the surrounding place-name is pronounced Kushihara, so some maps still mis-label the station — and despite being only 900 metres from the much busier Nishitetsu Kurume, only local trains stop here.
