Chikuhi Line (western section) | ||||
Yamamoto | Local | Nishi-Ōchi |
The private Kitakyushu Railway, which had a track between Hakata and Higashi-Karatsu by 1926 and had expanded southwards to Yamamoto by 1929. In a later phase of expansion, the track was extended west from Yamamoto to Imari, which opened as the western terminus on 1 March 1935. This station was opened on the same day as an intermediate station on the new track under the name Banzuīn (幡随院). The Kitakyushi Railway was nationalised on 1 October 1937 and Japanese Government Railways (JGR) assumed control of the station, renamed it Hizen-Kubo and designated the track which served it as part of the Chikuhi Line. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Kyushu. [4] [5]
In fiscal 2015, there were a total of 5,125 boarding passengers, giving a daily average of 14 passengers. [6]
