History
Gannosu Station opened on 1 January 1904 as Nata Station, an intermediate stop on the private Hakata Bay Railway's line between Saitozaki and Sue. The operator, later the Hakata Bay Railway and Steamship Company, merged into the Nishi-Nippon Railroad on 19 September 1942. The line was nationalised on 1 May 1944 and the track designated the Kashii Line; the station was renamed Gannosu at the same time. With the 1 April 1987 privatisation of JNR it passed to JR Kyushu, SUGOCA acceptance began in March 2009, and the station joined the line's remotely-managed Smart Support Station scheme on 14 March 2015. It bears the line code JD03.

Notes
Confusingly for visitors, every nearby place name — bus stops, schools, the recreation center — is written 雁の巣 with the hiragana の, but the station's name uses katakana ノ.
