History
The private Hakata Bay Railway had opened a track on 1 January 1904 from Saitozaki to its southern terminus at Sue and extended by 3 June 1905 to Shinbaru. The track was further extended and Umi opened as the new southern terminus on 29 December 1905. On 19 September 1942, the company, now renamed the Hakata Bay Railway and Steamship Company, with a few other companies, merged into the Kyushu Electric Tramway. Three days later, the new conglomerate, which had assumed control of the station, became the Nishi-Nippon Railroad (Nishitetsu). On 1 May 1944, Nishitetsu's track from Saitozaki to Umi were nationalized. Japanese Government Railways (JGR) took over control of the station and the track which served it was designated the Kashii 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]
