Location

History

Ogōri Station opened on 28 April 1939 as Chikugo-Ogōri Station, an intermediate stop on the Japanese Government Railways Amagi Line between Kiyama and Amagi. Carload freight ceased on 15 April 1960, the station was outsourced to the Tetsudō Kōsaikai on 25 April 1960, and parcel and small-lot freight ended on 1 April 1973, leaving the station unstaffed. On 1 April 1986 the Amagi Line was transferred to the Amagi Railway and the station was relocated roughly 500 metres east — beside the point where the line crosses the Nishitetsu Tenjin Ōmuta Line — and renamed simply Ogōri. The move shortened the distance to Nishitetsu Ogōri Station from about 600 metres to roughly 120 metres.

Notes

When the station was relocated and renamed in 1986, the original 1939 platform survived under the Ōita Expressway viaduct for decades; the surrounding plot is now an apartment building and the platform shelter roof was finally removed in early 2021.
