History
Kyūsandai-mae Station opened on 11 March 1989 as an in-fill stop on JR Kyushu's Kagoshima Main Line, 68.1 km from the line's starting point at Mojikō. Half of the roughly 120-million-yen construction cost was contributed by Kyushu Sangyo University, whose campus the station is named for. Automatic ticket gates were installed on 19 February 2000 and the SUGOCA IC card was introduced on 1 March 2009. The station has two side platforms connected by an elevated concourse with a staffed Midori-no-Madoguchi ticket office. In fiscal 2024 it averaged 7,818 passengers per day, the 20th-busiest JR Kyushu station.
