History
Gofukumachi Station opened on 20 April 1982 as the eastern terminus of the Fukuoka City Subway Line 2 extension from Nakasu-Kawabata. It became an intermediate station on 27 April 1984 when the line was further extended to Maidashi-Kyūdai-byōin-mae, and the line was rebranded as the Hakozaki Line on 3 March 1993. Station operation was outsourced from 1 July 2004. The station has a single island platform serving two tracks directly beneath Meiji Street. The site is managed from Kaizuka, with day-to-day duties contracted to a JR West subsidiary.

Notes
Gofukumachi's station logo is a green ship modelled on a Heian-period Japan-Song trading vessel, recalling the area's history as part of Hakata's old port quarter.
