History

Yoshizuka Station opened on 19 June 1904 as a Kyushu Railway in-fill stop between Hakozaki and Hakata, the same day a branch to Sasaguri began operation. The station was relocated and formally opened on 25 October 1904. Nationalisation in 1907 put it under the Japanese Government Railways; the track became the Kagoshima Main Line in 1909, and Yoshizuka was designated the Sasaguri Line's starting point on 5 May 1911. JR Kyushu took over at privatisation in 1987. Elevation work begun on 9 August 1995 was finally completed on 13 March 2004 with the Hakozaki-Hakata stretch fully grade-separated. SUGOCA arrived on 1 March 2009, and the station became JR Kyushu's directly operated facility again on 1 October 2023.

Notes

JR Kyushu's platform name boards at Yoshizuka carry Fukuoka Prefecture's crest and a label noting that the station is the prefectural office's nearest stop.
