Lines
[edit]The station is served by the Nagasaki Main Line and is located 109.4 km from the starting point of the line at Tosu.[3] Besides local trains on the line, some trains of the Rapid Seaside Liner service between Sasebo and Nagasaki also stop at the station.[4]

History
[edit]On 2 October 1972, Japanese National Railways (JNR) opened a new, shorter, inland route for the Nagasaki Main Line between Kikitsu and Urakami, thus bypassing the longer coastal route via Nagayo. Ichinuno was opened on the same day as one of the intermediate stations along this new route. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Kyushu.[6][7]
Passenger statistics
[edit]In fiscal 2014, there were a total of 105,307 boarding passengers, giving a daily average of 289 passengers.[8]
