History

Chikuhō-Katsuki Station opened on 29 April 1958 in Yahatanishi-ku, Kitakyūshū, on the Chikuhō Electric Railroad (Chikutetsu) line. The "Chikuhō" prefix in the station name distinguishes it from the now-defunct Katsuki Station that operated on the former Japanese National Railways Katsuki Line. The unstaffed station has two side platforms connected by a level crossing, carries the station number CK15, and stands 10.2 km from the line's terminus at Kurosaki. An approach melody sounds only for trains in the Kurosaki-bound direction. The area north of the station is a quiet residential district, while broad paddy fields extend south toward Kusubashi, leaving the station somewhat removed from the district generally known as the Katsuki town centre.
