Location
History
Kaize Station is in Sasebo, Nagasaki Prefecture, on the Nishi-Kyūshū Line operated since 1988 by the third-sector Matsuura Railway. The station opened on 27 March 1920 as a station of the Sasebo Railway. It was absorbed into Japanese Government Railways on 1 October 1936 when the Sasebo Railway was nationalised, becoming a Matsuura Line station. Goods handling ceased on 1 October 1962, and on 1 April 1963 station operations were contracted out to the Japan Traffic & Tourism Co. On 1 April 1966 parcel handling ended and the station became unstaffed. Privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 transferred the station to JR Kyushu's Matsuura Line, and on 1 April 1988 it passed to Matsuura Railway's Nishi-Kyūshū Line. The unstaffed station consists of a single side platform with a bi-directional track, sited about 4 metres above the road below.
Notes
Kaize is unstaffed and has no station building, though a waiting room and toilet are provided, and part of the station's former yard has been converted into a monthly-contract car park.
