[4] The station consists of an unnumbered island platform serving two tracks with a siding.

From the bridge, a ticket gate equipped with a Sugoca card reader stands at the top of a flight of steps which leads down to the platform.

[3][2][5][6] The station was opened on 5 December 1923 as the eastern terminus of a line which the private Kitakyushu Railway had built to Hamasaki.

Fukuyoshi became a through-station on 1 April 1924 when the track was extended east to Maebaru (today Chikuzen-Maebaru).

With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Kyushu.
