• Kagoshima Main Line: Higashifukuma ⇄ Chidori

Fukuma Station opened on 28 September 1890 as an intermediate stop when the privately run Kyushu Railway extended its line north from Hakata to Akama. After the Kyushu Railway was nationalized on 1 July 1907, the station became part of the Hitoyoshi Main Line on 12 October 1909 and the Kagoshima Main Line later that year on 21 November 1909. JR Kyushu took control on 1 April 1987. From 1972 it has generally functioned as a rapid-service stop, with selected Kirameki and Relay Kamome limited expresses also calling. A multi-year redevelopment from 2007 produced a new elevated station building (2010), a free pedestrian concourse, and east and west station plazas (2011).

During World War II a siding was hurriedly built from Fukuma into the Kami-Saigō district to serve an army warehouse complex; it was removed in September 1945 with the end of the war.
