Nishi-Ei Station (西頴娃駅, Nishi-Ei-eki) is a passenger railway station located in the city of Minamikyūshū, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by JR Kyushu. [1] [2]
The station is served by the Ibusuki Makurazaki Line and is located 67.7 km from the starting point of the line at Kagoshima-Chūō. [1]
This above-ground station has one island platform and two tracks, and is capable of switching and turning around trains. A level crossing (without barriers) connects the platform to the station building. Platform 1 is on the station building side. The station has a small concrete station building. This station and Makurazaki Station are the only stations that still have station buildings beyond Yamakawa Station. The station sign has been updated to a unique design, featuring Mount Kaimon and the monster Issie swimming in Lake Ikeda.
The station was opened on 22 March 1960 as a station on the JNR Ibusuki Line. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, JR Kyushu took over control of the station. [3] [4]
In fiscal 2015, the station was used by an average of 76 passengers daily.
