Location
History
Hase Station opened on 15 January 1895 as a temporary terminus of the Bantan Railway extended north from Himeji; the line was pushed further north to Ikuno on 17 April 1895. The station building was relocated on 31 August 1896. The Bantan Railway was transferred to Sanyō Railway on 1 June 1903, and on 1 December 1906 the Sanyō Railway was nationalised, making Hase a state-railway station; line nomenclature on 12 October 1909 placed it on the Bantan Line. Freight was discontinued on 1 March 1963 and parcel handling on 1 April 1973, when the station became unstaffed, although train-handling staff continued to be posted there. On 1 April 1987 JR West took over. The station building stopped being used around 1988 and the underground passage from the platform is now the only access. Limited-stop service began in March 2012 but in March 2021 the rapid services were abolished and all line locals once again call at every station.
Notes
In fiscal 2016, Hase averaged just 19 daily boarding passengers, making it the least-used station on the Bantan Line.
