• Nagasaki Main Line: Yue ⇄ Hizen-Nagata

Oe opened on 24 March 1934 as an intermediate stop on the new coastal track Japanese Government Railways was building north from Isahaya, in a phase originally branded the Ariake West Line. When the link-up to Tara was completed later that year, the route became part of the Nagasaki Main Line on 1 December 1934. Goods service was withdrawn on 15 February 1962, and parcels were discontinued on 10 February 1972, at which point the station became unstaffed. A simple aluminium-panel single-storey building replaced the original structure in March 1977. Operation passed to JR Kyushu at JNR privatisation on 1 April 1987, and the line through Oe was de-electrified between Hizen-Hama and Nagasaki on 23 September 2022.

Spelled "Oe," the station name is one of the shortest in Hepburn romanisation, tied with Ao, Ei and Ii; Tsu in Mie is shorter in kana, but the same length once Latinised.
