The station is unstaffed but a ticket window is managed by a Kan'i itaku agent.

[3][2][4] Japanese Government Railways (JGR) built the station in the 1930s during the development of an alternative route for the Nagasaki Main Line along the coast of the Ariake Sea.

In the next phase of expansion, the track was extended to Hizen-Hama which opened as the new southern terminus on 30 November 1930.

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