Chiwata Station

[3] Besides the local services on the line, some trains of the Rapid Seaside Liner also stop at the station.

[4] The station consists of a side platform serving a single track by the coast of Ōmura Bay.

A ramp leads up from the station forecourt to the building but another short flight of steps is needed to access the platform.

[3][2][5] The ticket window is not staffed by JR Kyushu but a kan'i itaku agent has converted the station waiting room into a cafe and also sells some kinds of tickets on site.

With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Kyushu.
