Location

History

Hakozaki Station opened on 28 September 1890 as an intermediate stop on the Kyushu Railway's newly extended track north from Hakata. After nationalisation on 1 July 1907 it passed to the Japanese Government Railways and became a Kagoshima Main Line station in 1909. Freight handling ended in 1952. JR Kyushu took control at privatisation in 1987. Continuous-grade-separation work began on 9 August 1995. The down line was elevated on 1 December 2002, prompting a 440-metre relocation toward Kashii, with the up line elevation completing the project on 13 March 2004. The move pushed the station outside the JR Hakata initial-fare zone, raising the basic fare to Hakata Station. SUGOCA service began on 1 March 2009.

Notes

The 2002 relocation pushed Hakozaki just past the 3.0-kilometre initial-fare boundary, so basic fares to neighbouring Hakata Station went up overnight.
