• Kagoshima Main Line: Orio ⇄ Ongagawa

Mizumaki Station opened on 1961-10-01 as an infill stop added to the existing Kagoshima Main Line by Japanese National Railways, in what is now Korosue-Minami, Mizumaki, Onga District, Fukuoka Prefecture. At the 1987 privatisation the station passed to JR Kyushu. A Midori-no-Madoguchi opened in March 1993, the south exit was added in 1995, and automatic ticket gates were installed in stages on the north (2000-07-01) and south (2000-11-20) exits. SUGOCA service began on 2009-03-01. The Midori-no-Madoguchi closed on 2022-03-11, and after a period as a contracted station the operation returned to JR Kyushu in-house on 2023-10-01. South-exit redevelopment with a new bus loop, parking and taxi area was completed in March 2023.

The local place name comes from a Heian-era shrine record that explains it as "the place where the water swirls" (mizu no maku tokoro), referring to the surrounding Onga River flow.
