• Hisatsu Orange Railway: Hinagu Onsen ⇄ Kami-Tanoura

Higo-Futami Station opened on 15 April 1925 as a station on the Japanese Government Railways Kagoshima Main Line. With the 1 April 1987 privatisation of Japanese National Railways, it passed to JR Kyushu. On 13 March 2004 the coastal stretch of the line between Yatsushiro and Sendai was transferred to the third-sector Hisatsu Orange Railway, and Higo-Futami moved with it. Station numbering was introduced on 1 October 2019, with the station's nameboard updated accordingly. The layout consists of two opposed side platforms at street level connected by a footbridge, each platform serving trains in one direction; the small station building shares its design with another station refurbished at the same time.

The station stands close to the Yatsushiro Sea, and Japan National Route 3 passes nearby.
