History
Ōki Station opened on 8 December 1921 as a stop on the Mitsui Electric Tramway, in what is today Kurume, Fukuoka Prefecture, with the surrounding municipal history noting that the platform was originally a passing loop. The operator was absorbed by Kyushu Railway in 1924, then merged into Kyushu Electric Tramway on 19 September 1942, which renamed itself Nishi-Nippon Railway three days later. The station was staffed and rebuilt in September 1989, gained nimoca smart-card support in May 2008 and station numbering (A07) in February 2017, and reverted to being fully unstaffed on 1 April 2021 with the introduction of a centralised remote-management system on the Nishitetsu Amagi Line.
