History
The privately run Kyushu Railway had begun laying down its network on Kyushu in 1889 and by 1890 had a stretch of track from Template:STN southwards to Template:STN. The track was extended northwards from Hakata to Template:STN by 28 September 1890, with Fukuma being opened on the same day as an intermediate station. 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 Hitoyoshi Main Line and then on 21 November 1909, part of the Kagoshima Main Line. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, JR Kyushu took over control of the station.[3][4]
Passenger statistics
In fiscal 2020, the station was used by an average of 7305 passengers daily (boarding passengers only), and it ranked 15th among the busiest stations of JR Kyushu.[5]
