History
Kanda Station was established on 1 April 1895 as Kanda Station (刈田駅) on the private Kyushu Railway. The railway was nationalized on 1 July 1907, and the kanji of the station name was changed from "刈" to "苅"; however, to avoid confusing with Kanda Station (Tokyo), the official pronunciation of the name was changed to "Kanta" on 16 October 1918. It reverted to its original pronunciation on 1 October 1959. The station building was reconstructed in 1987.
