History
Nishitetsu Gojō Station opened on 1 May 1902 as Gojō Station on the horse-drawn Dazaifu Horse Railway, which used a 914 mm-gauge track. Motive power changed from horses to steam on 20 January 1912, and the line was regauged to 1,435 mm and electrified by 24 September 1924. The station was closed on 24 September 1927 during route reconstruction but reopened on 3 May 1928 as Gojōguchi. After a 1931 relocation and reversion to Gojō, it was renamed Shukeijō-mae in 1942 before becoming Nishitetsu Gojō on 25 October 1948. The current station building dates to a 1994 reconstruction, and station numbering was introduced in February 2017.
Notes
Although the station is the nearest one to Dazaifu City Hall and stands in Dazaifu's central district, it has only an island platform and a side platform, and platform 2 is left out of normal use.
