The station was opened on 11 December 1889 by the privately run Kyushu Railway after the construction of a track between Hakata and the (now closed) Chitosegawa temporary stop with Tosu as one of several intermediate stations on the line. When the Kyushu Railway was nationalized on 1 July 1907, Japanese Government Railways (JGR) took over control of the station. On 12 October 1909, the station became part of the Hitoyoshi Main Line and then on 21 November 1909, part of the Kagoshima Main Line. On & December 1929, JGR extended the Chikuho Main Line from Chikuzen-Uchino to Haruda, making it the southern terminus of the line. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, JR Kyushu took over control of the station.[8][9][10]
In fiscal 2016, the station was used by an average of 4,052 passengers daily (boarding passengers only), and it ranked 50th among the busiest stations of JR Kyushu.[11]
