Location

History

Yoshitomi Station opened on 20 April 1995 as an additional stop on the existing Nippō Main Line in Yoshitomi Town, Fukuoka. The town had originally planned to open the station with the JR timetable revision of 11 March 1989, including a fallback name "Buzen-Yoshitomi" to avoid conflict with another Yoshitomi Station on the San'in Main Line in Kyoto; objections from the town council delayed it, and opening was eventually achieved without the prefix. SUGOCA IC-card service began on 1 March 2009, and the station was destaffed in July 2014.

Notes

Yoshitomi Station was funded almost entirely by private donations: a woman with hometown ties to Yoshitomi paid for the platform construction, and a pharmaceutical company donated the station building, which is built jointly with the town's "Furusato Centre" community facility. Yoshitomi is also the easternmost railway station in Fukuoka Prefecture.
