History[]

Japanese Government Railways (JGR) opened a track from Kurume to Chikugo-Yoshii on 24 December 1928 during the first phase of the construction of the Kyudai Main Line. Chikugo-Kusano was opened on the same day as one of several intermediate stations on the track. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, JR Kyushu took over control of the station.^[4]^[5]

Passenger statistics[]

In fiscal 2015, there were 44,000 boarding passengers (in rounded thousands), giving a daily average of 121 passengers.^[6]
