History
editThe station was opened by JR Kyushu on 11 March 1989 as an additional station on the existing track of the Kashii Line.[4][5]
On 14 March 2015, the station, along with others on the line, became a remotely managed "Smart Support Station". Under this scheme, although the station became unstaffed, passengers using the automatic ticket vending machines or ticket gates could receive assistance via intercom from staff at a central support centre.[6]
