Kanada Station (金田駅, Kanada-eki) is a passenger railway station located in the town of Fukuchi, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by the third-sector railway operator Heisei Chikuhō Railway. [1] On 1 April 2009, two local onsen operators, Fujiyunosato and Hinōnoyu-Onsen, acquired naming rights to the station. Therefore, the station is alternatively known as Fujiyunosato・Hinōnoyu-Onsen Kanada Station (ふじ湯の里・日王の湯温泉金田駅, Fujiyunosato-Hinōnoyu-Onsen-Kanada-eki).[2]
Lines
Kanada Station is served by the Ita Line and is located 9.8 km from the starting point of the line at Nōgata. It is also a terminus for the Itoda Line and is 6.8 kilometers from the opposing terminus at Tagawa-Gotōji.[1] Trains arrive roughly every hour.[3]
Layout
The station consists of one side platform and one island platform with a cutout to allow the island platform to serve three tracks. The platforms are connected by both an underground passage and a footbridge. The station building itself is wheelchair accessible and connected to Platform 1 by a slope, however, the island platform with Platforms 2-4 has no elevator and can be accessed only by stairs. The station is staffed and contains the head office of the Heisei Chikuhō Railway.[1]

History
The station opened on 11 February 1893 as a station on the Kyushu Railway. The railway was nationalized on 1 July 1907. The Kinnomiya Railway (currently Itoda Line) opened on 1 February 1929 and was transferred to Kyushu Industrial Railway on 1 June of the same year. The Kyushu Industrial Railway was renamed Industrial Cement Railway in 1933 and was nationalized on 1 July 1943. With the privatization of the JNR on 1 April 1987, the station became part of JR Kyushu. It was transferred to the Heisei Chikuhō Railway on 1 October 1989,
