Location

History

Ogushigō Station opened on 21 October 1944 as an additional stop on the existing Ōmura Line, established by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications during the Second World War to serve a nearby Imperial Japanese Navy training facility. The station was relocated to its present site on 1 April 1948. A 1947 plan to close it was reversed because of strong local support. Parcel handling ended on 1 December 1971, when the station became unstaffed, and the current building was constructed on 1 April 1985 with the local town bearing the cost. With the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987, control passed to JR Kyushu, and SUGOCA IC card acceptance began on 9 October 2025.

Notes

The station was built to serve a navy torpedo-boat training school that was later converted to train pilots of the "Shin'yō" suicide motorboat, and many Shin'yō crew members passed through Ogushigō.
