History

The station was opened by Japanese Government Railways (JGR) on 1 April 1908 on its stretch of track between Moji (now Mojikō and Yatsushiro.

With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, JR Kyushu took over control of the station.[2][3]
