Ōita-Daigaku-mae Station

Oitadaigaku-mae Station (大分大学前駅, Ōitadaigaku-mae eki) is a passenger railway station located in Ōita City, Ōita Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by JR Kyushu.

Lines

The station is served by the Hōhi Main Line and is located 138.8 km from the starting point of the line at Kumamoto.

Layout

The station consists of a side platform serving a single track. The station building is a modern wooden structure equipped with a staffed ticket window, an automatic vending machine and a SUGOCA card reader. After the ticket gate, a long sheltered ramp leads down to the platform, which is located at a lower level.

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 booth which is equipped with a POS machine but does not have a Midori no Madoguchi facility.

History

JR Kyushu (JNR) opened the station on 23 March 2002 as an additional station on the existing track of the Hōhi Main Line.

In February 2018, JR Kyushu announced that the station would become unstaffed in the autumn of 2018 after completing barrier-free improvements and introducing the "Smart Support" remote station management scheme.

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2016, the station was used by an average of 1,604 passengers daily (boarding passengers only), and it ranked 113th among the busiest stations of JR Kyushu.
