Lines
The station is served by the Nippō Main Line and is located 408.1 km from the starting point of the line at Kokura.[3]
Layout
The station, which is unstaffed, consists of an island platform serving two tracks with a siding, all on a low embankment. The station building, located at the base of the embankment, is a modern structure built in 2010 to resemble a log cabin. From there, a walk up a sloped access road leads to a footbridge which is used to access the island platform.[2][3][4][5]

History
The station was opened on 1 November 1931 by Japanese Government Railways (JGR) as the southern terminus of the then Kokuto East Line (国都東線) from Nishi-Miyakonojō. By 1932, the Kokuto East Line had been linked up with other networks north and south, and through traffic had been established from Kokura, through this station to Kagoshima. The station and the Kokuto East Line were then absorbed and were designated as part of the Nippō Main Line on 6 December 1932. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Kyushu.[6][7][8]
In 2010, a new station building and toilet was opened by the local municipal authorities. The station building was built of local cedar wood in log cabin style and given the nickname "The Eternal Station Building".[5]
