History
Chikuzen-Uchino Station opened on 15 July 1928 as the new southern terminus of the Nagao Line, extended from Nagao (now Keisen) by Japanese Government Railways. On 7 December 1929 the track was further pushed to Haruda and Chikuzen-Uchino became a through station; the Nagao Line was simultaneously merged into the Chikuho Main Line. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987, the station passed to JR Kyushu. Station numbering was introduced on 28 September 2018 with Chikuzen-Uchino receiving the code JG03. The station today is unstaffed and consists of a single side platform with a small log-cabin-style waiting room.

Notes
Construction-era speculation held that Chikuzen-Uchino might be abolished before it even opened, because the rival Kamihōnami stop was added to serve a colliery branch that the new line was about to acquire as a freight customer.
