History
Hatchōmuta Station opened on 1 October 1937 as a stop on the Kyūshū Railway. Operation transferred to Nishi-Nippon Railroad (Nishitetsu) on 22 September 1942. The current station building dates from a 1966 rebuild. The station became compatible with the nimoca IC fare card on 18 May 2008, received platform and forecourt renovations in 2015, and was assigned station number T36 when the Tenjin Ōmuta Line introduced numbering on 1 February 2017. Hatchōmuta became fully unstaffed on 1 April 2021 with the rollout of Nishitetsu's centralised station management system.
