Location
History
Originally called Shikenjōmae Station after the Fukuoka Prefecture Kurume Industrial Testing Center that stood nearby, the station opened on 6 October 1933 as a stop on the Okawa Railway. In 1937 the Okawa Railway merged into the Kyushu Railway and the line was electrified and absorbed into the Ōmuta Line. The Kyushu Railway merged with the Kyushu Electric Tramway on 19 September 1942 and took the Nishi-Nippon Railroad name three days later, on 22 September 1942. With the timetable revision of 16 March 2024 the station was renamed St. Mary's Hospital Station at the request of St. Mary's Hospital, which stands just north of it.
Notes
Until the 16 March 2024 timetable revision, the station carried the name Shikenjōmae after a Fukuoka prefectural industrial testing centre that had long since left the site.
