Kute Station (久手駅, Kute-eki) is a passenger railway station located in the city of Ōda, Shimane Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by the West Japan Railway Company (JR West).[1]

Lines

Kute Station is served by the JR West San'in Main Line, and is located 413.7 kilometers from the terminus of the line at Kyoto.

Station layout

The station consists of one side platform serving a single bi-directional track. It used to be an island platform, but with the speeding up of the San'in Line in 2001, the tracks on the side of the station building were removed. The station is unattended.

History

Kute Station was opened on 11 July 1915 when the San'in Main Line was extended from Iwami-Ōda Station (currently Ōdashi Station). The line was further extended to Oda Station. With the privatization of the Japan National Railway (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the aegis of the West Japan railway Company (JR West).

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2020, the station was used by an average of 47 passengers daily.[2]
