History

The private Daito Railway (大湯鉄道) opened a track from Ōita to Onoya on 30 October 1915. This station was opened on the same day as one of several intermediate stations along the track. On 1 December 1922, the Daito Railway was nationalized and absorbed into Japanese Government Railways, (JGR) which closed the station. Subsequently, JGR reopened the station on 3 February 1925. On 15 November 1934, when the Daito Line had linked up with the Kyudai Main Line further west, JGR designated the station as part of the Kyudai Main Line. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Kyushu.[4][5]

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2015, there were a total of 6,393 boarding passengers, giving a daily average of 18 passengers.[6]

gollark: Apparently, it's about twice as fast.
gollark: Nope, A72 now.
gollark: I think the same goes for the many RK3399 devices around.
gollark: The ODROIDs are very good for certain applications, apparently, since their CPUs ship hardware cryptographic features and the RPi ones don't due to being essentially repurposed TV box SoCs.
gollark: Also one x86 SBC with a Celeron or something.
