九州旅客鐵道鹿兒島支社

The Kagoshima Branch Office is the administrative center for railway operations serving the southern region of Kyushu. It coordinates train schedules and oversees maintenance activities for the regional rail network.

The office was established in October 1915 as Japan expanded its railway networks across the southern region. It grew into a central facility for managing rail operations during the country's rapid railway development in that era.

The office maintains connections with local communities through transportation initiatives and supports regional mobility needs throughout Kagoshima Prefecture.

The office is located about an 8-minute walk from JR Minami Kagoshima Station and is open Monday through Friday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Its position near the main station makes it straightforward to reach by public transport.

The facility houses specialized inspection areas and technical departments responsible for maintaining railway infrastructure across southern Kyushu. These technical sections are typically not open to public access but are essential to the region's daily rail operations.
