The station was opened on 19 June 1904 by the privately run Kyushu Railway as the eastern terminus of a stretch of track from Yoshizuka. When the Kyushu Railway was nationalized on 1 July 1907, Japanese Government Railways (JGR) took over control of the station. On 12 October 1909, the station became part of the Sasaguri Line. On 25 May 1968, Sasaguri became a through-station when the Sasaguri Line was extended further eat to Keisen. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, JR Kyushu took over control of the station.[1][2]
In fiscal 2016, the station was used by an average of 4,786 passengers daily (boarding passengers only), and it ranked 43rd among the busiest stations of JR Kyushu.[3]
