The station is served by the Chikuhō Main Line and is located 22.8 km from the starting point of the line at Wakamatsu.^[2]

Station layout

The station consists of two opposed side platforms serving two tracks. A station building, of modern design and shaped to resemble a traditional coal-ferrying boat, houses a waiting room and automatic ticket vending machines. Access to the opposite side platform is by means of a level crossing with steps at both ends.^[2][3]

History

The station was opened by JR Kyushu on 11 March 1989 as an additional station on the existing Chikuhō Main Line track.^[4][5]

On 4 March 2017, Shinnyū, along with several other stations on the line, became a remotely managed "Smart Support Station". Under this scheme, although the station is unstaffed, passengers using the automatic ticket vending machines or ticket gates can receive assistance via intercom from staff at a central support centre which is located at Nakama.^[6]

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2020, the station was used by a daily average of 285 boarding passengers, making it the 282nd busiest station on the JR Kyushu network.^[7]。
