History
Unoshima Station opened on 25 September 1897 as U-no-Shima Station on the privately run Hōshū Railway between Yukuhashi and Yanagigaura. It was acquired by the Kyushu Railway in 1901, nationalised on 1 July 1907, and renamed Unoshima on 1 November the same year. The line was redesignated the Hōshū Main Line in 1909 and then the Nippō Main Line on 15 December 1923. JR Kyushu took over at privatisation in 1987. The current second-generation station building was completed in April 1959, funded by a local bond, and a station forecourt was added in 1966. SUGOCA service began on 1 March 2009, a lift was installed in 2011, and the Midori-no-Madoguchi closed on 11 March 2022.
Notes
Statues of the eight-tengu of Kubote, modelled after Fukuoka Prefecture's cultural property, were installed on the platforms in 1981 — a 2-metre, 500-kilogram pair that cost about 1.72 million yen to make.
