History
Tokuriki Kōdanmae Station opened on 9 January 1985 as part of the inaugural run of the Kitakyushu Monorail (Kokura Line), the first urban monorail constructed in Kyushu. Located in Kokuraminami Ward, it serves the surrounding postwar Tokuriki public-housing estate from which it takes its name. The station is built as a two-platform elevated stop with two tracks, designed to handle the straddle-beam rolling stock used line-wide. In October 2015 it was equipped to accept the mono SUGOCA contactless IC card, integrating the monorail with the broader Kyushu fare-card ecosystem. The station is numbered 10 within the line and remains a residential commuter stop.

Notes
The station shares its naming convention with Keisei Matsudo Line's Takane-Kōdan Station — both take their names from postwar public housing estates rather than place names.
