Station sign and symbol

The station's name, which is the longest for a Japan subway station, means "Front of Kyushu University Hospital in Maidashi". Chiyo-Kenchōguchi Station is, however, closer to the hospital. Maidashi-kyūdai byōin mae is the station closest to the Prefectural Government office. The symbol on the sign is a dove, representing peace and nursing (a reference to the nearby hospital).

Station layout

The station consists of one island platform located in the second basement, serving two tracks.

History

The station opened on 27 April 1984 as a terminus of the subway line.[1]
