History
Japanese Government Railways (JGR) opened the station on 26 April 1935 as an additional station on the existing Chikuho Main Line track. 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]
On 4 March 2017, Chikuzen-Habu, along with several other stations on the line, became a "Smart Support Station". Under this scheme, although the station is unstaffed, passengers using the automatic ticket vending machines or ticket gates can receive assistance via intercom from staff at a central support centre which is located at Nakama.[6]
Passenger statistics
In fiscal 2020, the station was used by a daily average of 291 boarding passengers, making it the 280th busiest station on the JR Kyushu network.[7]。
Surrounding area
This station is located on the left bank of the Onga River. The surrounding area is a residential area, and Kabuki Park is right near the station. The nearest station to Nakama City Hall is this station, which is located east of the station and across Onga Bridge.
