History

Bungo-Ogi opened on 2 December 1928 as one of several intermediate stations on the newly through Hōhi Main Line formed by joining the Inukai and Miyaji light-rail lines at Tamarai. Freight handling ended on 1 October 1971, station services were outsourced from 1 March 1972, and parcel handling ceased on 1 February 1984 before the station was reduced to a simple agency arrangement on 30 November 1984. JR Kyushu inherited the station on 1 April 1987. The 1928 building was replaced in May 1993 by a two-storey steel-frame structure, the "Ogi Station Exchange Hall," built for 120 million yen by the former town of Ogi to house local goods, a reading room and a history exhibition.

Notes

The current station building is not just a depot but a full community facility — built for 120 million yen by the former town of Ogi in 1993, it houses a local goods shop, a reading room and a history exhibition in addition to the ticket window.
