History

Buzen-Masuda Station opened on 25 August 1942 when the Tagawa Line was extended south from Nishi-Soeda to Hikosan; it later became part of the Hitahikosan Line in 1960. Both freight and parcel handling ended in 1971, and the station was destaffed. JR Kyushu inherited the stop on 1 April 1987. All services were suspended on 5 July 2017 after the Northern Kyushu torrential rains damaged the line's infrastructure. Rail service was formally replaced by the BRT Hikoboshi Line bus rapid transit on 28 August 2023; the BRT stop is now sited along the adjacent prefectural road west of the former platform, which still survives even though the trackbed has been removed.

Notes

The station's rail platform still stands even though the tracks have been pulled up — passengers now board the replacement BRT bus from a separate stop on the prefectural road just west of the abandoned platform.
