History
Naomi opened on 20 November 1920 as an intermediate stop on a southern extension of the Hōshū Main Line, the route through Kokura then operated by Japanese Government Railways after the 1907 nationalisation of the Kyushu Railway. The line was redesignated the Nippō Main Line on 15 December 1923. Freight handling ended on 1 October 1962; station services were outsourced on 1 April 1968, and Naomi became unstaffed on 30 March 1972 when parcel handling ceased. JR Kyushu inherited the station with the 1 April 1987 privatisation. The original station building has since been demolished; a small toilet block now stands on its site, and the timetable is mounted on a railing at the entrance to the footbridge.

Notes
There is no station building at Naomi — the former office site now holds only a public toilet, and the timetable is bolted to the railing at the foot of the footbridge.
