Tsurumaru Station (鶴丸つるまる駅えき, Tsurumaru-eki) is a passenger railway station located in the town of Yūsui, Aira District, Kagoshima prefecture, Japan. It is operated by JR Kyushu.[1][2]

Lines[edit]

The station is served by the Kitto Line and is located 59.0 km from the starting point of the line at Miyakonojō.[3]

Layout[edit]

The station consists of a side platform serving a single track. There is no station building at this unstaffed station, only a shelter on the platform for waiting passengers. The access road is at a higher level than the station platform which is accessed by going down a short flight of steps. A bike shed is provided at the station entrance.[2][4][5]

History[edit]

Japanese National Railways (JNR) opened the station on 1 February 1958 as an additional station on the existing track of the Kitto Line. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Kyushu.[3][6]
