[3] The station, which is unstaffed, consists of two opposed unnumbered side platforms serving two tracks.

[2][3] The Karatsu Kogyo Railway had opened a track from Miyoken (now Nishi-Karatsu) which, by 25 December 1899, had reached Azamibaru (now Taku).

The track was extended east, with Kubota opening as the final eastern terminus on 14 December 1903.

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