History[]

The private Daito Railway (大湯鉄道) opened the station on 30 October 1915 as the western terminus of a track which it had laid from Ōita. On 1 December 1922, the Daito Railway was nationalized and absorbed into Japanese Government Railways, (JGR) which designated the track which served the station as part of the Daito Line. On 29 September 1923, Onoya became a through-station when the track was extended further west to Yunohira. On 15 November 1934, when the Daito Line had linked up with the Kyudai Main Line further west, JGR designated the station as part of the Kyudai Main Line. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Kyushu.[4][5]

The station, which formerly had an outsourced ticket window, became unstaffed from April 2016.[6]

Passenger statistics[]

In fiscal 2016, the station was used by an average of 357 passengers daily (boarding passengers only), and it ranked 284th among the busiest stations of JR Kyushu.[7]
