Location

History

Amagi Station is a shared name used by two different operators, whose station buildings stand about 100 metres apart in Amagi, Asakura City. The Nishitetsu side opened on 8 December 1921 as a stop of the Mitsui Electric Tramway, was absorbed into the second Kyushu Railway in 1924, and then into Kyushu Electric Tramway in September 1942, which renamed itself Nishi-Nippon Railroad days later. The Amagi Railway side opened on 28 April 1939 as a station of the Ministry of Railways' Amagi Line (initially read 'Amaki', re-read 'Amagi' from 20 September the same year), and was transferred to the new third-sector Amagi Railway on 1 April 1986. The Nishitetsu station building dates from 1948, making it the oldest depot still in service anywhere on the Nishitetsu network.

Notes

The Nishitetsu Amagi depot was built in 1948 and is the oldest station building still in use anywhere on the Nishitetsu network.
