History

The privately run Chikuhō Kogyō Railway had opened a line from

Japanese Government Railways (JGR) took over control of the station. On 12 October 1909, the station became part of the Chikuhō Main Line. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Kyushu.[4][5]

On 4 March 2017, Chikuzen-Ueki, along with several other stations on the line, became a remotely managed "Smart Support Station". Under this scheme, although the station is unstaffed, passengers using the automatic ticket vending machines or ticket gates can receive assistance via intercom from staff at a central support centre which is located at Nakama.[6]

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2020, the station was used by a daily average of 410 boarding passengers, making it the 239th busiest station on the JR Kyushu network.[7]。
