History
By December 1889, the privately run Kyushu Railway had opened a stretch of track from Hakata to the (now closed) Chitosegawa temporary stop. In the next phase of expansion, the track was extended southwards to Kurume, which opened as the new southern terminus on 1 March 1890. Kurume became a through-station on 1 April 1891 when the track was further extended to Setaka. 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 and Nagasaki Main Lines. On 21 November 1909, the Hitoyoshi Main Line was renamed the Kagoshima Main 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.[1][2]
Passenger statistics
In fiscal 2016, the station was used by 7,743 passengers daily (boarding passengers only), and it ranked 21st among the busiest stations of JR Kyushu.[3]
