The station was opened by Japanese Government Railways (JGR) on 1 April 1908 on its stretch of track between Moji (now Mojikō and Yatsushiro. On 12 October 1909, the station became part of the Hitoyoshi Main Line and then on 21 November 1909, part of the Kagoshima Main 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.[3][4]
In fiscal 2020, the station was used by an average of 2662 passengers daily (boarding passengers only), and it ranked 55th among the busiest stations of JR Kyushu.[5]
It is located in an old urban area, with many private houses and shops. The freight line of the Kagoshima Main Line runs approximately 150 meters west of the station, and the Nippon Steel Yawata Works Tailings Railway (Kurogane Line) runs approximately 200 meters southeast of the station.
