History
Kafuri Station opened on 1 April 1924 as an intermediate stop when the privately built Kitakyushu Railway extended its track east from Hamasaki to Maebaru (today Chikuzen-Maebaru). When the Kitakyushu Railway was nationalised on 1 October 1937, Japanese Government Railways took over and designated the route the Chikuhi Line. JR Kyushu inherited the station at the 1 April 1987 privatisation. Sugoca farecard acceptance was introduced on 13 March 2010, and on 26 March 2016 the station became unstaffed again. It is now a small bridge-style elevated structure with a single island platform serving two tracks of the Chikuhi Line in Itoshima City, Fukuoka Prefecture.
