History
Japanese National Railways (JNR) opened the station on 22 February 1987 as an additional station on the existing track of the Nippō Main Line. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Kyushu.[4]
On 17 March 2018, Maki became a "Smart Support Station". Under this scheme, although the station became unstaffed, passengers can receive assistance via intercom from staff at a central support centre.[5][6]
Passenger statistics
In fiscal 2016, the station was used by an average of 752 passengers daily (boarding passengers only), and it ranked 196th among the busiest stations of JR Kyushu.[7]
