History
The private Kyushu Railway had, by 1909, through acquisition and its own expansion, established a track from Шаблон:STN to Шаблон:STN. The Kyushu Railway was nationalised on 1 July 1907. Japanese Government Railways (JGR), designated the track as the Hōshū Main Line on 12 October 1909 and expanded it southwards in phases, with Hiji opening as the new southern terminus on 22 March 1911. It became a through-station on 16 July 1911 when the track was extended further south to Шаблон:STN. On 15 December 1923, the Hōshū Main Line was renamed the Nippō Main Line. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Kyushu.[7][8]
The station became unstaffed on 1 April 2016. In order to maintain service to the residents, the Hiji town authorities took over the staffing of the ticket window as a kan'i itaku agent.[5]
Passenger statistics
In fiscal 2016, the station was used by an average of 533 passengers daily (boarding passengers only), and it ranked 238th among the busiest stations of JR Kyushu.[9]
