History
Koganchaya Station opened on 15 October 1915 as a stop on the Mitsui Electric Tramway. The operator merged with the Kyushu Railway in 1924, and with the formation of Nishi-Nippon Railway through a series of mergers in September 1942, the station became part of Nishitetsu. The line was renamed the Amagi Line on 15 July 1948. The wooden station building was rebuilt in 1967, the IC card nimoca began service in 2008, and station numbering (A09) was introduced in 2017. With the rollout of remote station management on 1 April 2021, the station became fully unstaffed. A single ground-level side platform serves the Amagi Line, located in Miyanojin-machi Hatchojima, Kurume, Fukuoka Prefecture.
