History
The private Kitakyushu Railway had opened a track between Fukuyoshi and Hamasaki on 5 December 1923. By 1 April 1924, the line had been extended east to Maebaru (today Chikuzen-Maebaru). Kafuri was opened on the same day as an intermediate station on the new track. When the Kitakyushu Railway was nationalized on 1 October 1937, Japanese Government Railways (JGR) took over control of the station and designated the line which served it as the Chikuhi Line. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Kyushu.[6][7]
The station became unstaffed in 2016.[8]
Passenger statistics
In fiscal 2020, the station was used by an average of 530 passengers daily (boarding passengers only), and it ranked 210th among the busiest stations of JR Kyushu.[9]
