On 1 October 1961, Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, upgraded the facility to a full station and renamed it Shirakibaru Station (白木原駅, Shirakibaru-eki). With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, JR Kyushu took over control of the station. On 11 March 1989, the station was renamed Ōnojō. ^[3]^[4]
