History
Norfolk Hiroba opened on 26 April 2009 as a stop on the heritage Mojikō Retro Scenic Line operated by Heisei Chikuhō Railway in the Moji ward of Kitakyushu. It is served only by the four-car Shiokaze excursion train, which runs between March and November and, except for certain weeks, only on weekends and public holidays. The single ramped side platform has no buildings of its own, only the station-name sign. The station name was sold under a naming-rights scheme to Mannen-Kame Ltd.; the planning-stage provisional name was Mojigaseki.

Notes
The platform is reached by a sloping ramp from ground level and carries no facilities beyond the station-name board — typical of the line, which is operated only by one four-car excursion train running on roughly eleven daily round trips at 40-minute intervals.
