History edit
The station was opened on February 1, 1916 as Akasaka Station (赤坂駅) for freight only operations on the Chikuho Main Line. Passenger services began on May 10, 1920 and the line was renamed the Urushi Line. It was incorporated into the Gotōji Line on July 1, 1943. The station was renamed to its present name on December 20, 1956. 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.[3]
