The stairs leading to the Heisei Chikuhō Railway platform and the ground level area are located outside the JR ticket gate, and can be freely accessed (there is no elevator).

The Honya exit is directly managed by JR Kyushu and has a Midori no Madoguchi staffed ticket office.

The Heisei Chikuhō Railway transfer gate is outsourced to JR Kyushu Service Support.

Japanese Government Railways (JGR), designated the track as the Hōshū Main Line on 12 October 1909.

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