History

Kanzaki Station opened on 20 August 1891 as an intermediate stop on a Tosu–Saga line built by the private Kyushu Railway, originally written 神崎. The company was nationalised on 1 July 1907, transferring the station to Japanese Government Railways, and the kanji spelling changed to 神埼 on 1 November 1907. The route was redesignated as the Nagasaki Main Line on 12 October 1909. The station was renamed Hizen-Kanzaki on 1 May 1945 and reverted to Kanzaki on 10 April 1956. Following the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987, the station passed to JR Kyushu and JR Freight; freight handling ceased on 22 March 1997.

Notes

The current station building straddles the tracks as an elevated bridge, with a long ramp on the south side providing step-free access without requiring an exterior elevator.
