History
Japanese Government Railways (JGR) opened Shingū Signal Box (新官(信号所), Shingū shingosho) on 1 June 1915. On 1 October 1920 it was upgraded to a passenger station and its name was changed to Chikuzen Shingũ Station (筑前新官駅) and its location was shifted 100 metres further to the south on the line. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, JR Kyushu took over control of the station.[3][4] The station was renamed Fukkōdai-mae on 15 March 2008. The name means, literally, "in front of the Fukuoka Institute of Technology".
Passenger statistics
In fiscal 2016, the station was used by 11,468 passengers daily, and it ranked 12th among the busiest stations of JR Kyushu.[5]
