History
Japanese Government Railways (JGR) opened Nishiyashiki Signal Box on 1 September 1926 as an additional facility on the existing track of the Nippō Main Line. On 1 March 1947, Japanese National Railways (JNR), the postwar successor of JGR, upgraded the facility to a full station. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Kyushu. [5]
Passenger statistics
In fiscal 2015, there were a total of 4,713 boarding passengers, giving a daily average of 13 passengers. [6]
