History
Shin-Toyotsu Station opened on 1 October 1990 as a third-sector infill station on the Heisei Chikuhō Railway's Tagawa Line, one year after the line was transferred from JR Kyushu. It has a single side platform with a small shelter, no station building, and is barrier-free via a ramp. It carries the station number HC26 and sits between the original Toyotsu Station (HC27) and Higashi-Saigawa-Sanshirō Station (HC25) in the town of Miyako, Fukuoka. From 1 April 2009 a Hachiōji-based software company, Energysoft, held naming rights and the station was marketed as Energysoft Shin-Toyotsu Station; the contract had ended by April 2022 and the station reverted to its original name.

Notes
Although named after the former town of Toyotsu, the station does not sit in the old town centre — that lies more than a kilometre east — and the original Toyotsu Station (HC27) actually sits in neighbouring Yukuhashi.
