In the next phase of expansion, the track was further extended, with Iizuka being opened as the new southern terminus on 3 July 1893.

Iizuka became a through-station on 1 December 1901 when the Kyushu Railway extended the track to Nagao (now Keisen.

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