History

Mitsusawa Station opened on 12 April 1924 in what is today Mitsusawa, Ogōri, Fukuoka Prefecture, as a station on the Kyushu Railway; that company merged with the Kyushu Electric Tramway on 19 September 1942, and the merged company took the name Nishi-Nippon Railroad (Nishitetsu) three days later, on 22 September 1942. The station is today on the Nishitetsu Tenjin-Ōmuta Line and carries station number T20. The station building was rebuilt in 1967, a west exit was added in 1999, the nimoca IC-card service started on 18 May 2008 and station numbering was introduced on 1 February 2017. In 2018 the platform's effective length was increased from five-car to seven-car capacity, and on 1 April 2022 the centralised station management system was introduced; given the large number of elementary-school users, staff are still posted from 07:30 to 16:30.

Notes

Mitsusawa has two opposed ground-level side platforms and an in-station level crossing linking the down-platform station building to the up platform, where there is also an automatic-gate-only entrance. Until Mikuni-ga-Oka Station opened, what is now the west exit served as a dedicated entrance for pupils of Ogōri High School during the morning rush.
