Makiyama Station (牧山駅, Makiyama-eki) is a passenger railway station located in the Takebe-chō neighborhood of Kita-ku of the city of Okayama, Okayama Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by West Japan Railway Company (JR West).[1]

Lines

Makiyama Station is served by the Tsuyama Line, and is located 11.4 kilometers from the southern terminus of the line at Okayama.

Station layout

The station consists of two ground-level opposed side platforms connected by a footbridge. The platform is narrow because the station is located along a cliff. Platform 2 is adjacent to the station building, which is little more than a waiting room. All trains normally use Platform 2 in both directions, unless trains moving in opposite directions are passing. The station is unattended.
