History
Matsubase Station was opened on 28 January 1895 as a station on the Kyushu Railway, which was nationalized in 1907. The first station building was strafed in an air raid on 27 July 1945, killing 24 people in a train stopped at the station. After the privatization of the Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under JR Kyushu.
