History

Yakuin-ōdōri Station opened on 3 February 2005 with the Fukuoka City Subway Nanakuma Line, designed between October 1998 and May 1999 and built from August 2002 to July 2004. The station has been a business-outsourced operation since opening, under Tenjin-Minami's managed area, with JR Kyushu Service Support handling day-to-day work. The single island platform with two tracks lies beneath the city's Jōnan-sen avenue, and the station carries code N13. A sub-name, 動植物園口 ("Zoological & Botanical Garden Entrance"), was added on 20 September 2018 to flag the station's role serving Fukuoka Municipal Zoo and Botanical Garden uphill to the south.

Notes

Yakuin-ōdōri was designated the "standard station" when the Nanakuma Line's 16 stations were designed — its layout was used as the architectural template against which each station's variations were then judged.
