Hizen-Fumoto Station (肥前麓駅, Hizenfumoto-eki) is a passenger railway station located in the city of Tosu, Saga Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by JR Kyushu. [1] [2]
The station is served by the Nagasaki Main Line and is located 4.2 km from the starting point of the line at Tosu. [3]
The station consists of two side platforms serving two tracks. A small station building of concrete construction serves as a waiting room and houses automatic ticket vending machines. The ticket window became unstaffed in 2015. Access to the opposite side platform is by means of a footbridge. [3] [2]

Japanese Government Railways (JGR) opened the station as Hizen-Fumoto signal box (肥前麓信号場, Hizen-Fumoto-shingōba) on 30 September 1942 on the existing track of the Nagasaki Main Line. On 1 March 1947, the facility was upgraded to a full station and passenger traffic commenced. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Kyushu. [4] [5]
In January 2015, JR Kyushu announced that Hizen-Fumoto would become an unstaffed station from 14 March 2015. This was part of a major effort by the company to reduce its operating deficit by ceasing to staff 32 stations in its network. [6]
In fiscal 2020, the station was used by an average of 460 passengers daily (boarding passengers only), and it ranked 227th among the busiest stations of JR Kyushu. [7]
There are many homes and factories in the area.
