History
Japanese Government Railways (JGR) opened the station as Script error: No such module "Nihongo". on 30 September 1942 on the existing track of the Nagasaki Main Line. On 1 March 1947, the facility was upgraded to a full station and passenger traffic commenced. 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 January 2015, JR Kyushu announced that Hizen-Fumoto would become an unstaffed station from 14 March 2015. This was part of a major effort by the company to reduce its operating deficit by ceasing to staff 32 stations in its network.[6]
Passenger statistics
In fiscal 2020, the station was used by an average of 460 passengers daily (boarding passengers only), and it ranked 227th among the busiest stations of JR Kyushu.[7]
