• JR Nippō Line: Kinko ⇄ Aira

Chōsa Station opened on 1 April 1926, added to an existing 1901-built track at the request of three local villages — Chōsa, Yamada and Kamou — which jointly funded most of the construction cost of around 11,522 yen. The first day saw 522 passengers and 122 yen 8 sen in fares. A larger steel-framed brick station building, partly clad in locally quarried Chōsa stone, was completed in June 1951 at a cost of 1.65 million yen. Freight handling ended on 20 September 1962 and parcel service on 14 March 1985. The station was transferred to JR Kyushu at the 1 April 1987 privatisation, and a tile-roofed European-style station building remains in use today.

The 1951 station building's stonework uses locally quarried Chōsa stone, named after the village that helped fund the station's original construction.
