The track from to was heavily damaged in the 2016 Kumamoto earthquakes and service between the stations, including to Ichinokawa has been suspended. JR Kyushu has commenced repair work, starting first with the sector from Higo-Ōzu to Tateno but has not announced a targeted completion date. The track east and west of Ichinokawa has been damaged in several places but the station itself appears to have escaped serious damage.
