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