• Kashii Line: Umino Nakamichi

Saitozaki Station opened on 1 January 1904 as the northern terminus of a track laid by the private Hakata Bay Railway to Sue, built to ship coal from the Kasuya coalfield. The company became the Hakata Bay Railway and Steamship Company and, on 22 September 1942, merged with others into Nishi-Nippon Railroad (Nishitetsu). The line from Saitozaki to Umi was nationalised on 1 May 1944 and renamed the Kashii Line. With the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR Kyushu, and on 14 March 2015 it became a remotely managed "Smart Support Station".

The station was originally built to ship coal from the Kasuya coalfield via Hakata Bay; a memorial stone in the surroundings is one of the few visible reminders that the area was once a colliery.
