History
Japanese Government Railways (JGR) opened the then Hitosan Line from Yoake to Hōshuyama on 22 August 1937, with Imayama opening on the same day as an intermediate station along the track. On 1 April 1960, this track was linked to tracks further north and became part of the Hitahikosan 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.[6][7]
In July 2017, torrential rainfall led to the tracks of the Hitahikosan Line from Soeda to Yoake being covered with mud and debris. Train services along the sector, which includes Imayama, were cancelled. JR Kyushu has not announced a date for the resumption of service apart from stating that the suspension will be for an indefinite period.[4][8]
Passenger statistics
In fiscal 2015, there were a total of 4,248 boarding passengers, giving a daily average of 12 passengers.[9]
