History
Hizen-Fumoto opened on 30 September 1942 as a signal box on the existing Nagasaki Main Line, in Tosu, Saga Prefecture. It was upgraded to a full station on 1 March 1947, when passenger handling began. Japanese Government Railways and then Japanese National Railways operated the stop until the 1 April 1987 privatisation transferred it to JR Kyushu. In January 2015 the company announced that the staffed ticket window would be removed on 14 March 2015, part of a wider effort to cut its operating deficit by ending staffing at 32 stations in its network. The current 4.2-km-out facility carries station number JH03 and has two side platforms linked by a footbridge.
