• Hohi Line: Asaji ⇄ Bungo-Kiyokawa

Ogata Station opened on 23 November 1922 as the new western terminus of Japanese Government Railways' Inukai Light Rail Line. It became a through-stop on 20 December 1923 when the line was extended to Asaji, and on 2 December 1928 the consolidated route from Kumamoto to Ōita was redesignated the Hōhi Main Line. Freight handling ended in 1981, parcel handling in 1985. Control passed to JR Kyushu at the 1987 JNR privatisation, after which the station was an outsourced (staffed) stop until it became unstaffed on 26 March 2016. The station, in Bungo-Ōno, Ōita Prefecture, has two side platforms linked by a footbridge, and the Kyushū-Ōdan limited express calls here.

Ogata was staffed under an arrangement that outsourced station operations to the JR Kyushu subsidiary JR Kyushu Tetsudō Eigyō, until it was made fully unstaffed on 26 March 2016.
