Twenty-nine JR stations in Kyushu will be converted to unmanned stations by March 2022. JR Kyushu recently revealed the names of those stations, including nine in Fukuoka Prefecture; Minami-Yukuhashi, Shindenbaru, Tsuiki, Shiida, and more. To support wheelchair passengers and others who need help, the company would introduce a new app-based system by the summer of 2022. Additionally, business hours for JR Hakata Station’s ticket counters will be shortened to 07:00~21:00. Source: NHK
