History
Ōgi Station is an unstaffed halt in Arita, Saga Prefecture, on the Nishi-Kyūshū Line operated since 1988 by the third-sector Matsuura Railway. The station opened on 1 April 1960 as a new stop on the JNR Matsuura Line, handling only diesel-railcar passengers from the outset. Privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 transferred the station to JR Kyushu, and on 1 April 1988 it passed once more, this time to Matsuura Railway, when the line was converted to a third-sector operation. It consists of a single ground-level side platform with a bi-directional track, 6.1 km from Arita, and has no station building — only a waiting shelter.
