Nishi Kobayashi Station (西小林駅, Nishi-Kobayashi-eki) is a passenger railway station located in the city of Kobayashi, Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by JR Kyushu and is on the Kitto Line.[1][2]
Lines
The station is served by the Kitto Line and is located 41.0 km from the starting point of the line at Miyakonojō.[3]
Layout
The station consists of a side platform serving a single track at grade. There is no station building but a simple shed has been set up at the station entrance to serve as a waiting room. Parking and a bike shed are available at the station forecourt.[2][4]
History
The station was opened by Japanese Government Railways (JGR) on 1 February 1929 as an additional station on the existing track of what it then designated as part of the Nippō Main Line. On 6 December 1932, the stretch of track between Yoshimatsu and Miyakonojō, which included Nishi Kobayashi, was separated out and redesignated as the Kitto Line with Miyakonojō as the starting point. Freight services were discontinued in 1962 and baggage handling from 1984, with the station becoming unattended from 1985. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, Nishi Kobayashi came under the control of JR Kyushu.[3][5][6]
Passenger statistics
In fiscal 2016, the station was used by an average of 29 passengers (boarding only) per day.[7]
