The station building is a modern structure but built in traditional Japanese style with a tiled roof.

In a further phase of expansion, the track was extended east with Hita opening as the eastern terminus on 3 March 1934.

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

[5][6] In July 2017, torrential rainfall led to the railway bridge across the Kagetsugawa River about 1 km east of the station being swept away, cutting the line.
