History
Japanese Government Railways (JGR) had opened the Kyudai Main Line on 24 December 1928 with a track between Kurume and Chikugo-Yoshii and had extended the line east to Yoake by 12 March 1932. In a further phase of expansion, the track was extended east with Hita opening as the eastern terminus on 3 March 1934. Teruoka opened on the same day as an intermediate station on the track. 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 railway bridge across the Kagetsugawa River about 1 km east of the station being swept away, cutting the line. Through service between Teruoka and the next station at Hita were suspended and the connection is now being made by a bus.[5] JR Kyushu said it intended to resume service by the summer of 2018[8] but later stated that it could be a long time before service is restored.[9]
