Hoshii Station (糒駅, Hoshii-eki) is a passenger railway station located in the city of Tagawa, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by the third-sector railway operator Heisei Chikuhō Railway. [1] On 1 April 2009, a local recycling plant, Kanda Shōten, acquired naming rights to the station. Therefore, the station is alternatively known as Kanda Shōten Hoshii Station (神田商店糒駅, Kanda-Shōten-Hoshii-eki).[2]
