Location

History

Takashimaguchi Station is on the Matsuura Railway Nishi-Kyūshū Line in Imafuku-chō, Matsuura, Nagasaki Prefecture. The station opened on 10 March 1990 as Imabuku-Takashimaguchi Station, was renamed Takashimaguchi Station on 3 October 1994, and on 11 May 2015 was given the nickname "Gateway to the Mongol-Invasion Island of Takashima" reflecting its role as the railhead for Takashima — the site of the final Mongol invasion. Matsuura is on the northern part of the Kita-Matsuura Peninsula and faces the Genkai Sea and Imari Bay. Matsuura is the birthplace of the Matsuura Party (Matsuura-tō) of mediaeval warriors, prospered through the Kita-Matsu coalfield in the early twentieth century, and today lands more horse mackerel (aji) than any other city in Japan — formally proclaiming itself the "Holy Land of Aji Fry" on 27 April 2019.

Notes

The Matsuura Line (predecessor of the present Nishi-Kyūshū Line) was transferred from JNR/JR to the third-sector Matsuura Railway on 1 April 1988, just under two years before this station opened.
