The station was opened by Japanese Government Railways on 11 October 1913 as Manjuishi Station on the Sendai Line. The Line was renamed the Sendai Main Line in 1924 and became part of the Kagoshima Main Line in 1927. The station name was changed to its present name on 15 December 1949. In 1985 Shoyo High School opened near Kami-Ijuin Station, and the resulting increase in passenger numbers caused the station building to become too small, so it was replaced with the current building. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways, the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, JR Kyushu took over control of the station.Passenger statistics
