History
Mizuma Station opened on 1 October 1937 on the Nishitetsu Tenjin Ōmuta Line in what is now Mizumamachi-Tagawa, Kurume, Fukuoka Prefecture. Platform extension work was carried out in 1965 and the station building was rebuilt the following year. The single-track section between Mizuma and Ōmizo was doubled on 15 January 1997. The nimoca IC card came into service on 18 May 2008, and station numbering (T33) was introduced on 1 February 2017. Following the rollout of Nishitetsu's centralised station management system, Mizuma became fully unstaffed on 1 April 2021. The station has two opposed side platforms with seven-car effective length and serves the suburban Mizuma district between Daizenji and Inuzuka stations.

Notes
Mizuma serves as the access station for the Jojima sake-brewery festival held each February in Kurume's Jojima district, when some limited-express trains make extra stops here and shuttle buses link the station to the festival grounds.
