Sagara-Toshima Station (相良十島駅, Sagaratoshima eki) is a railway station in Sagara Town, Kuma District, Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan. It is on the Kumagawa Railroad Yunomae Line. The station opened on 15 July 1953.

History

The station opened on 15 July 1953 under Japanese National Railways. Its original name was Kawamura Station (川村駅, Kawamura eki). It was then transferred to JR Kyushu on 1 April 1987 following the privatization of JNR. It was then finally transferred to the Kumagawa Railway on 1 October 1989.

On 6 July 2020, all services at Yunomae Line, including this station were suspended due to severe damage caused by the rainfall, including the complete destruction of a large bridge over the Kuma River. On 20 September 2026, this station was relocated to a different location after the flood and hence renamed Sagara-Toshima.
