  ## History
  
  Japanese Government Railways (JGR) had the Kyudai Main Line on 24 December 1928 with a track between Kurume and Chikugo-Yoshii. In the second phase of expansion, the track was extended east, with Chikugo-Ōishi opening as the new eastern terminus on 11 July 1931. It became a through-station on 12 March 1932 when the track was extended to Yoake. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, JR Kyushu took over control of the station.
