History
Mizuki Station was opened on 21 September 1913 by the Railway Bureau as an intermediate stop on the existing Kagoshima Main Line in what is now Ōnojō, Fukuoka. Baggage handling ended on 1 February 1984, and at the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR Kyushu. Automatic ticket gates were installed on 4 March 2000, SUGOCA IC fare service began on 1 March 2009, and the staffed ticket window closed on 11 March 2022. The two opposed side platforms are linked by a footbridge, and the station name derives from the adjacent ancient Mizuki earthwork rampart built in 664 CE.

Notes
The station takes its name from the seventh-century defensive earthwork rampart of the same name, which still stands a short distance away as a Special Historic Site.
