History
Hayabusa Station opened on 20 January 1930 as the terminus of the Railway Ministry's Wakasa Line when the route reached the station from Kōge. The line was extended to Wakasa on 1 December of the same year, leaving Hayabusa as an intermediate stop. General transport business was discontinued in 1961, after which the station handled passengers, parcels and small-lot freight; it was transferred to an outsourced operator in 1962 and de-staffed in 1974, when parcel handling also ended. It passed to JR West in the 1 April 1987 privatisation and to the third-sector Wakasa Railway on 14 October 1987. Both the station building and platform date from 1929 and were registered as Tangible Cultural Properties on 23 July 2008. The single side platform handles trains in both directions.
Notes
Since 2009 the station has hosted an annual August gathering of Suzuki Hayabusa motorcycle riders, drawn by the coincidence of name; over a thousand bikes attended at its peak.
