History
Daizenji Station opened on 30 December 1912 as a stop on the Okawa Railway. In 1937 the Okawa Railway merged into the Kyushu Railway and the line was electrified and absorbed into the Ōmuta Line. The Kyushu Railway then merged with the Kyushu Electric Tramway on 19 September 1942 and adopted the Nishi-Nippon Railway name three days later, on 22 September 1942, bringing the station under its current operator. The present station building was completed in 1959 and serves two island platforms connected by level crossings, with an additional siding. It lies 45.1 kilometres south of the Tenjin Ōmuta Line's Fukuoka (Tenjin) terminus and remains a staffed station on the southern half of the route.
