Shin-Tosu Station (新鳥栖駅, Shin-Tosu-eki) is a railway station in Tosu, Saga, Japan, operated by Kyushu Railway Company (JR Kyushu).
Shin-Tosu Station is served by the Kyushu Shinkansen and Nagasaki Main Line. A short walkway forms the connection between these two platforms, but passengers must pass through the Shinkansen and convention ticket gates to transfer.[1]
The Shinkansen station consists of two elevated island platforms serving four tracks. Tracks 11 and 14 on the Shinkansen are not normally used.[1] The conventional line has two side platforms.
