Hongō Station opened on 8 December 1921 as a station on the Mitsui Electric Tramway in Hongō, Tachiarai-machi, Mii District, Fukuoka Prefecture — station number A04. The Mitsui Electric Tramway merged into Kyūshū Railway on 30 June 1924, which in turn merged into Kyūshū Electric Tramway on 19 September 1942; that company was renamed Nishi-Nippon Railway (Nishitetsu) three days later, on 22 September 1942. The station building was rebuilt in 1954 (one generation before the present one). ICOCA-compatible nimoca service began on 18 May 2008, the station became unstaffed on 22 March 2014, station numbering was introduced on 1 February 2017, and the centralised station management system was introduced on 1 April 2021.

Hongō is an unstaffed ground-level station with a single island platform serving two tracks; the platform is narrow. Some morning-rush services are timetabled to short-turn here. The former Tosu Kōtsū route 15, linking Hizen-Fumoto - Nishitetsu-Tosu - JR Tosu - Hashima - Hongō, ran via this station until March 2001.
