The station opened on 1 April 1915 as a station on the Kokura Railway. The railway was nationalized on 1 May 1943, becoming the Soeda Line, and the name of the station was changed to its present name. The Soeda Line was renamed the Hita Line on 15 March 1956, and the section of this line containing this station became the Hitahikoya Line on 1 April 1960. With the privatization of the JNR on 1 April 1987, this station came under the control of JR Kyushu.

The station is located in the center of the former Saidōsho Village, and there are many private houses in the surrounding area.
