History

On 2 October 1972, Japanese National Railways (JNR) opened a new, shorter, inland route for the Nagasaki Main Line between Kikitsu and Urakami, thus bypassing the longer coastal route via Nagayo. Ichinuno was opened on the same day as one of the intermediate stations along this new route. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Kyushu.^[6]^[7]

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2014, there were a total of 105,307 boarding passengers, giving a daily average of 289 passengers.^[8]
