History
Kanada Station opened on 11 February 1893 as a station on the private Kyushu Railway, which was nationalised on 1 July 1907. The Kinnomiya Railway — the modern Itoda Line — opened from Kanada on 1 February 1929 and passed through several private operators before being nationalised in the Industrial Cement Railway buyout on 1 July 1943. The station was destaffed on 1 February 1984. With the 1 April 1987 privatisation of JNR it became part of JR Kyushu and transferred to the third-sector Heisei Chikuhō Railway on 1 October 1989. The new operator's head office is located at the station, and naming rights have been held since 1 April 2009 by two local onsen operators.
Notes
Kanada is barrier-free only on Platform 1 — Platforms 2 to 4 sit on an island reachable only by stairs from an underpass and footbridge, with no elevator on either.
