History
Sonogi Station opened on 20 January 1898 as an intermediate stop on the privately operated Kyushu Railway, the day the line was extended from Haiki to Ōmura. After the Kyushu Railway was nationalised on 1 July 1907, the track was designated as the Nagasaki Main Line on 12 October 1909. On 1 December 1934 another route was given that designation and the track from Haiki through Sonogi was reassigned to the Ōmura Line. Sonogi became unstaffed on 1 February 1984, and following the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987 it passed to JR Kyushu. The building was rebuilt in 2007, the ticket window closed on 11 March 2022, and SUGOCA acceptance began on 9 October 2025.
