History

Higashi-Isahaya Station opened on 24 March 1934 on a new coastal alignment of the Nagasaki Main Line then known as the Ariake West Line. Japanese Government Railways had built the section northward from Isahaya to Yue as an alternative route along the Ariake Sea, and the station opened as an intermediate stop on the day the Yue terminus was reached. A few months later the track was linked through to Hizen-Yamaguchi, and the whole stretch was redesignated as part of the Nagasaki Main Line on 1 December 1934. Control passed to JR Kyushu at the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987.

Notes

The unstaffed platforms sit on an embankment 97.8 km from the line's origin at Tosu, with a level crossing the only way to reach the disused opposite side.
