Hikarinomori Station (光の森駅, Hikari-no-mori-eki) is a railway station on the Hohi Main Line operated by JR Kyushu in Kita-ku, Kumamoto, Japan. [1] [2]
The station is served by the Hōhi Main Line and is located 14.8 km from the starting point of the line at Kumamoto. [3]
The station consists of an island platform serving two tracks at grade. The station building is a modern concrete hashigami structure where the station facilities are located on a bridge which spans the tracks and which provides entrances to the station and a free passage to access roads on both sides of the tracks. The second level of the bridge houses a waiting area and a staffed ticket window. Elevators provide access from the station entrances to the second level, and from the second level to the island platform. The island platform has an enclosed, air-conditioned, shelter for waiting passengers. [2] [3] [4]
Management of the station has been outsourced to the JR Kyushu Tetsudou Eigyou Co., a wholly owned subsidiary of JR Kyushu specialising in station services. It staffs the ticket window which is equipped with a Midori no Madoguchi facility. [5] [6]
