History
On 28 April 1929, Japanese Government Railways (JGR) opened the Kokuto East Line (国都東線) from Nishi-Miyakonojō to Takarabe. On the same day, Isoichi was opened as an intermediate station on the new track. By 1932, the track had been linked up with other networks north and south, and through traffic had been established from Kokura, through this station to Kagoshima. The station and the Kokuto East Line were then absorbed and were designated as part of the Nippō Main Line on 6 December 1932. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Kyushu.[4][5][6]
