Fukugami Station (福神駅, Fukugami-eki) is a passenger railway station located in the town of Ōyodo, Yoshino District, Nara Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by the private transportation company, Kintetsu Railway.[1]
Line
[edit]Fukugami Station is served by the Yoshino Line and is 12.8 kilometers from the starting point of the line at Kashiharajingū-mae and 52.5 kilometers from Ōsaka Abenobashi.
Layout
[edit]The station consists of two opposing side platforms and two tracks. In 1999, when Kintetsu developed a new town around Fukujin Station, the station underwent extensive renovations and was reborn as an elevated station building with a "British pastoral design".The station building is located on the bridge, and is connected to the platform by elevator. The elevator connecting the inside-ticket concourse and the outbound platform is a rare type called an "inside-outside shared type" that also connects the outside-ticket concourse and the east side of the station, and this station was the first in Japan to have one like this.[2]
