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]
