• JR Karatsu Line: Honmutabe ⇄ Iwaya (Saga)

Ōchi Station opened on 13 June 1899 as an intermediate stop when the Karatsu Kogyo Railway extended its track from Yamamoto to Kyūragi. After the operator was renamed the Karatsu Railway, it merged with the Kyushu Railway in 1902, and the line was nationalised on 1 July 1907 and designated the Karatsu Line in 1909. Ticket-window outsourcing in 1971 and the removal of resident staff in 1983 preceded the handover to JR Kyushu at privatisation on 1 April 1987. A new station building doubling as a community hall opened in 1995, and the station became fully unstaffed on 1 April 2022. Two side platforms now serve two tracks, with the original centre track removed.

A memorial monument to the enka singer Murata Hideo was installed within the station precinct on 17 January 2016.
