Hizen-Kashima Station

Hizen-Kashima Station (肥前鹿島駅, Hizenkashima-eki) is a railway station in Kashima, Saga Prefecture. It is operated by JR Kyushu on the Nagasaki Main Line. Because this station is the closest limited express station to the Yūtoku Inari Shrine, there are many people around during the Japanese New Year.
