Sue (Fukuoka)

History

Sue Station opened on 1 January 1904 as the southern terminus of a stretch of track from Saitozaki built by the privately owned Hakata Bay Railway. It became a through-station on 3 June 1905 when the line was extended onward to Shinbaru. Wartime consolidation transferred the station to Nishitetsu in 1942, and the Saitozaki-to-Sue line was nationalised in 1944, becoming the Kashii Line. JR Kyushu took over on 1 April 1987. The station was rebuilt in May 1995, and on 14 March 2015 it became a remotely managed unstaffed "Smart Support Station" together with the rest of the line. It is 21.9 km from Saitozaki.

Notes

Fukuoka Prefectural Route 91 runs parallel to the Kashii Line in front of the station, which sits well outside Sue Town's centre amid residential plots and farmland.
