History

Zōshuku Station is in Arita, Saga Prefecture, on the Matsuura Railway Nishi-Kyūshū Line. The station opened on 7 August 1898 with the Imari Railway's commencement of service between Arita and Imari. On 27 December of the same year the Imari Railway was absorbed into the Kyushu Railway, which was itself nationalised on 1 July 1907, placing the station under the Imperial Railway Agency. The current station building was constructed in 1913. Privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 transferred control to JR Kyushu's Matsuura Line, and on 1 April 1988 the station passed to the third-sector Matsuura Railway, becoming unstaffed at the same time.

Notes

The current station building dates from 1913 and remains in use; in November 2022 a café named "Maki no Yado kara" pre-opened in the former station-office space inside the timber structure.
