History
Japanese National Railways (JNR) opened the station on 22 February 1987 as an additional station on the existing track of the Hōhi Main Line. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Kyushu.[6]
In February 2018, JR Kyushu announced that the station would become unstaffed in the autumn of 2018 after completing barrier-free improvements and introducing the "Smart Support" remote station management scheme.[7]
Passenger statistics
In fiscal 2016, the station was used by an average of 1,166 passengers daily (boarding passengers only), and it ranked 146th among the busiest stations of JR Kyushu.[8]
