History
Ogi opened on 14 December 1903 when Kyushu Railway inaugurated the Karatsu Line; the railway was nationalised on 1 July 1907, placing the station under the Imperial Railway Agency. Freight handling ended on 15 November 1982 and parcel handling on 1 February 1984. JR Kyushu took over with the privatisation of 1 April 1987. The original wooden depot was preserved through a roughly 320-million-yen restoration project completed on 30 May 2015 by Ogi City, and on 25 February 2016 it was registered as a national tangible cultural property. After termite damage and earthquake-resistance concerns were confirmed during fiscal 2024, the building was closed to passengers from the first train on 30 April 2026, with a temporary outdoor passageway taking its place.
Notes
The station's 1903 wooden depot was registered as a national tangible cultural property in 2016, then closed to the public on 30 April 2026 after termites compromised its earthquake resistance.
