History
Futajima Station opened on 5 August 1899 on the first Kyushu Railway in what is now Wakamatsu Ward, Kitakyushu. Nationalisation followed on 1 July 1907, and on 12 October 1909 the station was assigned to the Chikuho Main Line. The building was rebuilt on 12 June 1959. Freight handling ended on 15 November 1982 and parcel service on 1 February 1984, when the station moved to contract operation. JR Kyushu took over on 1 April 1987. Automatic ticket gates entered service on 19 November 2000, and SUGOCA began on 1 March 2009. On 4 March 2017 Futajima joined the Smart Support Station (ANSWER) network and became fully unstaffed, with remote help via intercom from Nakama. Station number JE03.
Notes
Futajima appears in Tetsuya Ayukawa's mystery novel "The Black Trunk" as the station from which the corpse-bearing trunk that opens the case is dispatched; the author lived nearby for several months during the war.
