• JR Hitahikosan Line: Yobuno ⇄ Kawara

Saidōsho Station opened on 1 April 1915 as a stop on the privately operated Kokura Railway, in what is now the town of Kawara in Fukuoka Prefecture. The line was nationalized on 1 May 1943 during wartime consolidation, becoming the Soeda Line, with the station renamed to its current form. Subsequent re-designations placed it on the Hita Line in 1956 and the Hitahikosan Line in 1960. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 control passed to JR Kyushu. In September 2010 the original 1915 station building was transferred without charge to Kawara, which then refurbished it; the building carries a tangible cultural property designation.

The 1915 station building survived to receive a tangible cultural property designation; its former stationmaster's office reopened in 2017 as a Kawara-Town relocation and exchange hub called the "Second Waiting Room."
