Umi Station opened on 29 December 1905 as the new southern terminus of the private Hakata Bay Railway. From 1918 a separately built Chikuzen Sangū Railway station (freight, then passenger after 1919) operated about 150 m away under the names Umi and later Kami-Umi. Both operators merged into Nishitetsu in 1942 and the two stations were jointly retitled Umi, though kept physically apart. Wartime nationalisation followed on 1 May 1944, placing the station on the Kashii Line; the parallel Katsuta Line closed on 1 April 1985. JR Kyushu took over on 1 April 1987, SUGOCA began on 1 March 2009, and the station was unstaffed under the Smart Support Station (ANSWER) system on 14 March 2015. Station code JD16.

Umi was one of four 1980s-era JNR stations where two of the operator's own lines ran into the same station name but required passengers to exit through one fare gate and enter another to transfer between them; only the Kawasaki-area Hamakawasaki Station preserves that arrangement today.
