The station building is a simple wooden structure in Japanese style with a tiled roof which serves only to house a waiting area with seats and an automatic ticket vending machine.

History

[edit]

The private Kyushu Railway had, by 1909, through acquisition and its own expansion, established a track from Kokura to Yanagigaura. The Kyushu Railway was nationalised on 1 July 1907. Japanese Government Railways (JGR), designated the track as the Hōshū Main Line on 12 October 1909 and expanded it southwards in phases, with Gōnohara (today Naokawa) opening as the new southern terminus on 20 November 1920. On the same day, Kamioka was opened as an intermediate station on the new track. On 15 December 1923, the Hōshū Main Line was renamed the Nippō Main Line. 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.[5][6]

Passenger statistics

[edit]

In fiscal 2015, there were a total of 4,706 boarding passengers, giving a daily average of 13 passengers.[7]
