Huis Ten Bosch Station (ハウステンボス駅, Hausutenbosu-eki) is a passenger railway station located in the city of Sasebo, Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by JR Kyushu. This station serves the Huis Ten Bosch theme park after which it is named.
Lines
The station is served by the Ōmura Line and is located 4.7 km from the starting point of the line at Haiki. Besides the local services on the line, the Rapid Seaside Liner also stops at the station. The station is the terminus for the JR Kyushu Limited Express Huis Ten Bosch from Hakata.
Station layout
The station consists of an island platform serving two tracks. The station building is built of brick in a Dutch style to blend with the theme park and is a elevated structure, built over the platforms and tracks and houses a ticket counter, a waiting area and a shop. A flight of steps and an elevator from the station concourse gives access to the platform below. Platform/track 2 is a through-track and is used by Ōmura Line traffic. Platform/line 1 was also formerly a through-track but has now become a dead-end siding in order to accommodate the installation of an elevator shaft. It is used for trains such as the Huis Ten Bosch limited express which terminates at the station. Of the stations on the Ōmura Line, only the section from Haiki to this station has been electrified to accommodate the Huis Ten Bosch express trains.
Management of the station has been outsourced to the JR Kyushu Tetsudou Eigyou Co., a wholly owned subsidiary of JR Kyushu specialising in station services. It staffs the ticket counter which is equipped with a Midori no Madoguchi facility.
