Lines

The station is served by the Kashii Line and is located 14.2 km from the starting point of the line at Saitozaki.^[2]

Station layout

The station, which is unstaffed, consists of a side platform serving a single track. A station building, no more than a narrow shed on the pavement, houses a small waiting area and automatic ticket vending machines. Access to the platform is by a short flight of steps after the automatic ticket gates. A designated parking area for bikes is provided outside the station.^[2][3][4]

History

The station was opened by JR Kyushu on 13 March 1988 as an additional station on the existing track of the Kashii Line.^[5][6]

On 14 March 2015, the station 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.^[7]

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2020, the station was used by an average of 815 passengers daily (boarding passengers only), and it ranked 160th among the busiest stations of JR Kyushu.^[8]
