History
Tsubuku Station opened on 1 November 1921 as a stop on the Okawa Railway. In 1937 the Okawa Railway merged into the Kyushu Railway and the line was electrified and absorbed into the Ōmuta Line. The Kyushu Railway then merged with the Kyushu Electric Tramway on 19 September 1942 and adopted the Nishi-Nippon Railroad corporate name three days later, on 22 September 1942, bringing the station under the operator that runs it today. It lies 41.4 kilometres south of the Tenjin Ōmuta Line's Fukuoka (Tenjin) terminus, with a single island platform linked to the staffed station building by a level crossing, serving a residential pocket on the southern edge of Kurume.
