The station was opened on 19 June 1904 by the privately run Kyushu Railway as the eastern terminus of a stretch of track from Yoshizuka.

On 25 May 1968, Sasaguri became a through-station when the Sasaguri Line was extended further eat to Keisen. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, JR Kyushu took over control of the station.[1][2]
