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 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 regulation of JR Kyushu.[6][7][8]

In 2010, new improvements were made by the local municipal authorities, in the form of building a new station and opening a public toilet. The structure was made out of local cedar wood in log cabin style and given the nickname "The Eternal Station Building".[5]
