A siding branches off track 1 and includes some vehicle sheds.[3][2]

History
Japanese Government Railways (JGR) built the station in the 1930s during the development of an alternative route for the Nagasaki Main Line along the coast of the Ariake Sea. By 1934, a track extended south from Template:STN (then called the Ariake Line) had reached Template:STN and another track extended north from Template:STN (called the Ariake West Line) had reached Template:STN. In the final phase of construction, a track was laid to link up between Tara and Yue. Through-traffic was achieved on 1 December 1934. On the same day, Konagai was opened as an intermediate station on this new stretch of track. At the same time, the route from Hizen-Yamaguchi through the station to Nagasaki was designated as part of the Nagasaki Main 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]
Passenger statistics
In fiscal 2016, the daily average number of passengers using the station (boarding passengers only) was above 100 and below 323. The station did not rank among the top 300 busiest stations of JR Kyushu.[6]
