• Nishitetsu Tenjin Omuta Line: Yakuin ⇄ Takamiya (Fukuoka)

Nishitetsu Hirao Station opened on 12 April 1924 as Yahata Station (八幡駅) on the line that became the Nishitetsu Tenjin Ōmuta Line. It was renamed Kyūtetsu Hirao on 1 July 1939 and Nishitetsu Hirao on 22 September 1942. The station building was rebuilt in 1955 and again in 1993. Track elevation between Nishitetsu Hirao and Ōhashi was completed on 3 March 1978, and the parallel elevation up to Nishitetsu Fukuoka finished on 25 March 1995. A new combined station building opened in March 2006. The station code is T03; it carries two opposed elevated side platforms with eight-car capacity.

The station carries the operator prefix "Nishitetsu" because a separate Hirao Station once existed on the JNR Chikuhi Line nearby. Until that line's Hakata–Meinohama section closed in 1983, its Chikuzen-Takamiya Station stood about 400 m east of Nishitetsu Hirao and allowed passengers to change between the two railways.
