Traveler highlights

Space World Station opened in 1999 as the closest stop to the Space World amusement park. The park closed in 2018, but the station retains its nostalgic name. Today, it is the JR gateway to THE OUTLETS KITAKYUSHU, reachable by train from Hakata or Kokura, with many shops and family facilities. The surrounding land once served the steel industry and has since been transformed through redevelopment of the Higashida area. Brick and steel details on the station echo the nearby blast furnace’s industrial character. The name recalls the former amusement park, while shopping and family activities reveal a new district built on Kitakyushu’s industrial past.
