Mojikō station (terminus)

The Kagoshima Main Line (鹿児島本線 Kagoshima-honsen?) is a major railway line operated by the Kyushu Railway Company (JR Kyushu) between Mojikō in Kitakyūshū, and Kagoshima Station in Kagoshima City, at the southern end of Kyushu. Until March 13, 2004, it covered 393 kilometers between its two termini; however, with the opening of the Kyushu Shinkansen on March 13, the section between Yatsushiro and Sendai was transferred to the third-sector Hisatsu Orange Railway Company. The line is the most important line in Kyushu, connecting Fukuoka (Hakata Station) to many other major cities. It is the main line through the Fukuoka urban district, and as such many long-distance express trains from all parts of Kyushu utilize the section of line between Kokura Station (Kitakyūshū) and Tosu Station, where the Nagasaki Main Line meets the Kagoshima Main Line.
