The section between Kumanishi and Kurosaki-ekimae used to be a part of the tramway line Orio - Kumanishi - Kurosaki-ekimae, belonging to Nishi Nihon Tetsudō. That line was the last remaining part of the Kita Kyūshū tramway network with more than 30 km of lines between Mojikō in the east and Orio in the west. The tramway closed at Nov 26, 2000 and the Chikuhō Railway took over the 600 meters into Kurosaki-ekimae, which they already have been using for through trains.
