History

Satsuma-Imaizumi Station opened on 19 December 1934 as a stop on the Japanese Government Railways' Ibusuki Line. Freight handling ended on 20 August 1962, and on 31 October 1963 the line was renamed the Ibusuki Makurazaki Line. The station building, rebuilt in 1952, was refurbished in a Western style on 31 August 1986. Parcel handling was dropped on 8 March 1983, and on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR Kyushu at the privatisation of JNR. Today it is an unstaffed at-grade station with a single island platform linked to the building by a footbridge, in the Iwamoto district of Ibusuki.

Notes

The station's neighbourhood contains the site of the former villa of the Imaizumi-Shimazu family, the birthplace of Atsuhime (Tenshōin).
