History
Umi-no-Nakamichi Station opened on 1 July 1935 as a Hakata Bay Railway and Steamship temporary halt on the line from Saitozaki to Umi, and was upgraded to a full station on 15 July 1941. The operator was absorbed into Nishitetsu in 1942, and the entire line was nationalised on 1 May 1944, becoming the JGR (later JNR) Kashii Line. The station was relocated about 700 metres north on 9 March 1987, with the former site repurposed as the Nakamichi signal box; JR Kyushu took over at privatisation later that year. SUGOCA service started on 1 March 2009 and the unstaffed-but-remotely-supported Smart Support Station scheme arrived on 14 March 2015.
Notes
Tokara goat Kyūtarō was named honorary stationmaster in October 2010, working most non-rainy days through November before being reappointed for a second stint in spring 2012.
