Chikuzen-Shōnai Station opened on 15 July 1926 in what is now Iizuka, Fukuoka, as a station on the privately operated Kyushu Sangyo Railway (later renamed Sangyo Cement Railway). The operator was nationalised through a wartime acquisition on 1 July 1943, after which the station became part of the state-run Gotōji Line. Freight and parcel handling were withdrawn on 5 March 1974, at which point the station became unstaffed, and JR Kyushu inherited it at the 1 April 1987 privatisation of JNR. Today it consists of a single side platform serving one bi-directional track, with a waiting room and a simple-commission ticket arrangement; the coal-loading facilities and station building that once stood here are gone.

When the former Shōnai Town merged into Iizuka City, Chikuzen-Shōnai was the only railway station within its boundaries — yet it stands roughly three kilometres south of the old town centre, leaving the bulk of Shōnai dependent on a bus route from the Akasaka-bashi stop instead.
