Ikisan Station

Traveler highlights

Ikisan Station is an unmanned stop on the JR Chikuhi Line, opened in 1924 in Nijo-Tanaka, Itoshima. It retains the quiet atmosphere of a local railway station, carrying travelers from central Fukuoka toward settlements and fields in western Itoshima. Kamii Shrine is about a 15-minute walk away; after a forest path, you can see the huge rock known as “Shinseki” or the sacred stone. The shrine is a local place for worship and walking, associated with stories about the rock. For exploring Itoshima by public transport, Ikisan Station is a starting point for the shrine and rural scenery, suited to an unhurried walk.
