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.[6][7]
In fiscal 2009, the station was used by a daily average of 320 passengers (boarding and disembarking).[8]
In fiscal 2016, the number of passengers (boarding only) using the station was between 100 and 322. The station did not rank among the top 300 busiest stations of JR Kyushu.[9]
