Kajiki Station (加治木駅, Kajiki-eki) is a passenger railway station in Aira city, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by JR Kyushu and lies on the Nippō Main Line, 441.6 kilometers from Kokura. The station has two side platforms serving two tracks at ground level. The modern concrete station building houses a waiting area, automatic ticket vending machines, a SUGOCA card reader, and a staffed Midori no Madoguchi ticket window (outsourced to JR Kyushu Tetsudou Eigyou Co.). Access between the platforms is by a footbridge; the opposite platform is numbered Platform 3, and there is a gap that suggests Platform 2 was removed. Parking is available in the forecourt. The station is not fully accessible, as there is no direct access between platforms for wheelchairs.
