History
Japanese Government Railways (JGR) built the station in the 1930s during the development of an alternative route for the Nagasaki Main Line along the coast of the Ariake Sea. In a phase of construction of what was at first called the Ariake West Line, a track was built from  (on the existing Nagasaki Main Line) north to  which opened on 24 March 1934 as the terminus of the track. Oe was opened on the same day as an intermediate station on this stretch of track. A few months later, link up was made from Yue to  (which had been extended south from ). With through traffic achieved from Hizen-Yamaguchi on the new route to Nagasaki, the entire stretch of track was designated as part of the Nagasaki Main Line on 1 December 1934. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Kyushu. Passenger statistics
