History
Jirōmaru Station opened on 3 February 2005 as part of the inaugural batch of stops on the Fukuoka City Subway Nanakuma Line in Sawara-ku, Fukuoka. Implementation design ran from June 2000 to February 2001 with the Nagasawa Architectural Design Office, and construction by a Zenitaka–Shiraishi joint venture ran from January 2003 to July 2004. The single-island-platform underground station has been a contract-operated stop since opening, with Nippon Express's Fukuoka branch handling station business under management from Hashimoto Station. The station's customised wall finish uses soil-ceramic tiles in a green-brown shade, distinct from the surface materials chosen at sister stations along the line.

Notes
The station's blue firefly symbol refers to fireflies released each year along the upper reaches of the Muromi River, which runs just to the west.
