History

Japanese Government Railways (JGR) opened the station on 28 April 1939 with the name Chikugo Ogōri as an intermediate station on its Amagi Line between Kiyama and Amagi. On 1 April 1986, control of the station was handed over to the Amagi Railway. The name of the station was changed to Ogōri and the location of the station was shifted 400 m further along the line from Kiyama.[1][6][7]
