The private [[Kyushu Railway]] had, by 1909, through acquisition and its own expansion, established a track from {{STN|Kokura}} to {{STN|Yanagigaura}}. The Kyushu Railway was nationalised on 1 July 1907. [[Japanese Government Railways]] (JGR), designated the track as the Hōshū Main Line on 12 October 1909 and expanded it southwards in phases. On 1 April 1914, {{STN|Kōzaki|Ōita}} was opened as the new southern terminus after the track had been extended south from {{STN|Ōita}}. On the same day, Tsurusaki was opened as an intermediate station on the new track. On 15 December 1923, the Hōshū Main Line was renamed the Nippō 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.<ref>{{Teishajo|I|228-9}}</ref><ref name=teishajo>{{Teishajo|II|754}}</ref>
