History
The privately run Kyushu Railway had opened a stretch of track between Template:STN and the (now closed) Chitosegawa temporary stop on 11 December 1889. After several phases of expansion northwards and southwards, by July 1891, the line stretched from Template:STN south to Template:STN. Konoha was opened a few months later, on 1 April 1892, as an additional station on the track between Takase (now Template:STN and Kumamoto. 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.[6][7]

In fiscal 2020, the station was used by an average of 295 passengers daily (boarding passengers only), and it ranked 277th among the busiest stations of JR Kyushu.[8]
