Kanada Station (金田駅, Kanada-eki) is a passenger railway station located in the town of Fukuchi, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by the third-sector railway operator Heisei Chikuhō Railway. [1] On 1 April 2009, two local onsen operators, Fujiyunosato and Hinōnoyu-Onsen, acquired naming rights to the station. Therefore, the station is alternatively known as Fujiyunosato・Hinōnoyu-Onsen Kanada Station (ふじ湯の里・日王の湯温泉金田駅, Fujiyunosato-Hinōnoyu-Onsen-Kanada-eki).[2]
