Location
History
Nonaka Station is in Sasebo, Nagasaki Prefecture, on the Nishi-Kyūshū Line operated by the third-sector Matsuura Railway. The station opened on 10 March 1990, after the line had already transitioned from JR Kyushu's Matsuura Line to Matsuura Railway operation in 1988. It consists of a single ground-level side platform with a bi-directional track, 86.2 km from Arita; there is no station building, only a small waiting room and a toilet. The station has been unstaffed throughout its existence and is served only by local trains, the rapid services bypassing it without stopping.
Notes
Nonaka opened in 1990, two years after the line had been spun off to Matsuura Railway — meaning the third-sector operator, not the predecessor JR Kyushu, was the one to build the stop.
