Lines
Funao Station is served by the Gotōji Line and is 3.4 kilometers from the terminus of the line at Tagawa-Gotōji.[1]
Layout
The station consists of one side platform serving a single bi-directional track. The station is unattended. [1]
History
The station was opened on 5 February 1922 as a freight station on the Kyushu Sangyo Railway (later Sangyo Cement Railway). The line was extended on July 15, 1926 to the Akasaka Coal Mine, and passenger services began. On July 1, 1943 the Industrial Cement Railway was nationalized through a wartime acquisition and the station became part of the Gotōji Line. With the privatization of the JNR on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Kyushu.
