Matsubara Station (松原駅, Matsubara-eki) is a passenger railway station located in the city of Ōmura, Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by JR Kyushu.^[1]^[2]

Lines

The station is served by the Ōmura Line and is located 28.5 km from the starting point of the line at Haiki.^[3] Aside from the local services on the line, some trains of the Rapid Seaside Liner also stop at the station.^[4]

Station layout

The station consists of two side platforms serving two tracks. A siding branches off the main tracks and runs in between the station building and the platforms. The station building, a modern steel-frame structure, is unstaffed and serves as a waiting room with an automated ticket vending machine. A level crossing provides access to the station platforms.^[2]^[3]^[5]

History

The private Kyushu Railway, in building a line to Nagasaki, had opened a track southwards from Tosu to Saga and Takeo (today Takeo-Onsen) by 1895. By 1897, the track had reached Haiki. In the next phase of expansion, the track was extended towards Ōmura which opened as the new terminus on 20 January 1898. Matsubara was opened on the same day as an intermediate station between Haiki and Ōmura. When the Kyushu Railway was nationalized on 1 July 1907, Japanese Government Railways (JGR) took over control of the station. On 12 October 1909, track from Tosu through Haiki to Nagasaki was designated the Nagasaki Main Line. On 1 December 1934, another route was given the designation Nagasaki Main Line and the track from Haiki, through Matsubara to Isahaya was designated the Ōmura Line. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, control of the station was given to JR Kyushu.^[6]^[7]

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2014, there were a total of 27,802 boarding passengers, giving a daily average of 76 passengers.^[8]
