Kiwado Station (黄波戸駅, Kiwado-eki) is a passenger railway station located in the city of Nagato, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by the West Japan Railway Company (JR West).[1]

Lines

Kiwado Station is served by the JR West San'in Main Line, and is located 604.9 kilometers from the terminus of the line at Kyoto.

Station layout

The station consists of one side platform serving a single bi-directional track. It was originally a station with two opposite side platforms and two tracks, but the old outbound platform was abolished. The small station building is more of a waiting room, as there is no facility for ticket sales. The station is unattended.

History

Kiwado Station was opened on 9 December 1928 on a spur line of the Japan Government Railways Mine Line from Nagatoshi Station. This spur line was extended to Nagato-Furuichi Station on 13 October 1930, and was incorporated into the San'in Main Line on 24 February 1933. Freight operations were discontinued on 1 June 1963. With the privatization of the Japan National Railway (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the aegis of the West Japan railway Company (JR West).[2]

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2020, the station was used by an average of 12 passengers daily.[3]
