History

Teruoka Station opened in 1934 as an intermediate stop on the eastward extension of the Kyūdai Main Line, when the line reached Hita. The station was made unstaffed in stages in 1971 and 1984. Control passed to JR Kyushu on 1 April 1987. The line was disrupted by the 2012 northern Kyushu floods and again by the 2017 floods, when a Kagetsugawa railway bridge about 1 km east was washed away; through service to Hita resumed on 14 July 2018. In 2007 a small wooden replacement waiting facility named "Sukoyaka Mitsuoka" was built at local request and jointly funded by Hita City and JR Kyushu. Since 28 August 2023 the Hitahikosan Line BRT has stopped in front of the building.

Notes

The current station shelter, "Sukoyaka Mitsuoka," exists only because residents pushed back when JR Kyushu announced it would not rebuild the station building — Hita City and JR Kyushu then jointly paid 14.5 million yen for the replacement structure in 2007.
