History
Ajisaka Station opened on 12 April 1924 as one of the original stops on the new Kyushu Railway line between Fukuoka (now Nishitetsu Fukuoka Tenjin) and Kurume. The station building at the time stood not in Ajisaka village proper but in the neighbouring Ogōri village; the nearer Hashima Station served the heart of old Ajisaka. The operator merged into Kyushu Electric Tramway in September 1942 and immediately rebranded itself Nishi-Nippon Railway. The station was relocated on 1 November 1968 in connection with the rebuilding of the Hōman River bridge, gained nimoca smart-card support in 2008, station numbering (T24) in 2017, and was placed under a centralised remote-management system on 1 April 2022.

Notes
The 3.0-km gap between Ajisaka and the neighbouring Hatama Station is the longest distance between adjacent stops anywhere on the Nishi-Nippon Railroad network.
