History

Kanzaki Station opened on 20 August 1891 as an intermediate stop on a Tosu–Saga line built by the private Kyushu Railway, originally written 神崎. The company was nationalised on 1 July 1907, transferring the station to Japanese Government Railways, and the kanji spelling changed to 神埼 on 1 November 1907. The route was redesignated as the Nagasaki Main Line on 12 October 1909. The station was renamed Hizen-Kanzaki on 1 May 1945 and reverted to Kanzaki on 10 April 1956. Following the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987, the station passed to JR Kyushu and JR Freight; freight handling ceased on 22 March 1997.

Notes

The current station building straddles the tracks as an elevated bridge housing the ticket window and waiting area. From the forecourt on the south side there is a ramp as well as steps, and the ramp leads to an elevator that carries passengers up to those facilities; the island platform is likewise reached by an elevator from the bridge.
