History

Mitoma Station opened on 1 July 1925 on the Hakata Bay Railway Steamship Company line. The operator was absorbed into the Kyushu Electric Tramway, later Nishi-Nippon Railroad, on 19 September 1942. A bridge-type station building was placed in service on 1 November 1986, at which point the original single-track, single-platform layout was rebuilt to two opposing side platforms. The end of the Nishitetsu Shingū - Tsuyazaki section on 1 April 2007 eliminated Mitoma's function as a turnback station, with all trains thereafter running through to the new line terminus at Nishitetsu Shingū. An elevator-only footbridge was added on 23 May 2013.

Notes

Until the 2007 section closure, Mitoma's platform 2 was used almost exclusively for turnback trains and was closed off during midday hours when no such services ran.
