History

Kami-Mio Station opened on 15 June 1902 in Iizuka, Fukuoka, as a freight station on the privately run Kyushu Railway. Following the railway's nationalisation in 1907 the track became the Chikuho Main Line freight branch in 1909. Passenger service began on 10 May 1920 and the branch was simultaneously redesignated the Urushio Line. The line was renamed the Gotōji Line on 1 July 1943 after the wartime nationalisation of the Industrial Cement Railway. Freight handling was withdrawn in November 1982, the station became unstaffed in February 1984, and JR Kyushu inherited it at the 1 April 1987 privatisation of JNR. Today the platform is served by a single bi-directional track with a simple caboose-style shelter and no permanent staff.

Notes

Although the platform now serves a single bi-directional track, traces of the old passing loop and sidings remain in the station yard: a freight branch towards Chikuzen-Yamano once diverged here, and the residential area beside the station stands on the site of the Asō Kami-Mio colliery's Ganjaku pit.
