Soeda Station (添田駅, Soeda-eki) is a passenger railway station located in the town of Soeda, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by JR Kyushu. ^[1]

Lines

The station is served by the Hitahikosan Line and is located 39.5 km from the starting point of the line at Jōno.^[2] Since July 2017, there has been no rail service south of Soeda to Yoake due to rainstorm damage. This section of the line was replaced by bus rapid transit (BRT) on 28 August 2023.

Layout

The station consists of one island platform serving a single track. The opposite side of the platform is used for BRT operations, to permit the straight transfer of passengers from the train to the bus. Prior to the opening of the BRT, large-scale renovation work was carried out around the current platform and the area of the old station, and as a result the two-story reinforced concrete station building located far from the current platform. The station is unattended.^[2]
