The station is served by the Sasebo Line and is located 35.7 km from the starting point of the line at Hizen-Yamaguchi.[3] Only Sasebo Line local services stop at this station.[4]
Station layout
The station, which is unstaffed, consists of two side platforms serving two tracks with a siding branching off track 2. The station building is a small wooden structure which houses a ticket window but which is presently unstaffed. Access to the opposite side platform is by means of a footbridge.[3][2]
The private Kyushu Railway had opened a track from Tosu to Saga and Takeo (today Takeo-Onsen) by 5 May 1895. In the next phase of expansion, the track was extended further west with Haiki opening as the new western terminus on 10 July 1897. Mikawachi was opened on the same day as an intermediate station on the new track. When the Kyushu Railway was nationalized on 1 July 1907, Japanese Government Railways (JGR) took over control of the station. On 12 October 1909, station became part of the Nagasaki Main Line. On 1 December 1934, another route was given the designation Nagasaki Main Line and track serving the station was redesignated the Sasebo Line. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Kyushu.[5][6]
