Chikuzen-Shōnai Station (筑前庄内駅, Chikuzen-Shōnai-eki) is a passenger railway station located in the city of Iizuka, Fukuoka, Japan. It is operated by Kyushu Railway Company (JR Kyushu).

Lines

Chikuzen-Shōnai Station is served by the Gotōji Line and is 7.1 kilometers from the terminus of the line at Tagawa-Gotōji.

Layout

The station consists of one side platform serving a single bi-directional track. The station is unattended.

History

The station was opened on 15 July 1926 as a station on the Kyushu Sangyo Railway (later Sangyo Cement Railway). On 1 July 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.

The station was the only railway station in Shonai Town when it merged with Iizuka City, but it is approximately 3 kilometers south of the center of the former Shonai Town. The surrounding area is a residential area.
