History
Dainyū Station opened on 15 April 1925 as an additional intermediate stop on the existing Kitakyushu Railway track between Fukuyoshi and Maebaru, in what is now the city of Itoshima, Fukuoka Prefecture. The private railway had earlier opened the Fukuyoshi–Hamasaki section on 5 December 1923 and extended it east to Maebaru on 1 April 1924. When the Kitakyushu Railway was nationalised on 1 October 1937, Japanese Government Railways took over the station and designated its line the Chikuhi Line. Control passed to JR Kyushu at the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987. The station consists of two side platforms serving two tracks linked by a covered footbridge, with no station building.
