History

Higashi-Amagi Station opened in 1952 as a stop on the Nishitetsu Tenjin Ōmuta Line in Ōmuta, Fukuoka; some sources record 6 January and others 1 November as the opening date. The station building was rebuilt on 31 March 1995, producing the structure used today. Station numbering (T47) was introduced on 1 February 2017, and a centralised station management system was introduced on 1 April 2021. The station has two opposed side platforms with an effective length of six cars. It is the closest Nishitetsu stop to the Kyushu Shinkansen's Shin-Ōmuta Station, but the two are about 4 km apart with no scheduled transport service linking them.

Notes

Despite sharing its name with Amagi Station on the Amagi Line, Higashi-Amagi takes its name from a local placename in Ōmuta and has no direct connection with the city of Asakura, where the original Amagi is located.
