Kurosaki sits in Kurosaki 3-chōme, Yahata-Nishi Ward, Kitakyushu, and is shared by JR Kyushu and JR Freight on the Kagoshima Main Line; the Kurogane line of the Yawata Steel Works also joins here. It opened on 28 February 1891 as a Kyushu Railway station, was nationalised on 1 July 1907 when Kyushu Railway was taken into state ownership, and passed to JR Kyushu and JR Freight in the 1987 break-up of Japanese National Railways. A major rebuild on 16 October 1984 gave the station an overhead concourse, a station-front pedestrian deck and JR Kyushu's first escalator were completed in 1989, and the relocated Izutsuya Kurosaki department store opened in 2001 — all part of a long sequence of redevelopments around this central Kitakyushu interchange. Kurosaki is also the starting point of the line branded the Fukuhoku-Yutaka Line.

Kurosaki Station received JR Kyushu's first-ever escalator in December 1989, ahead of any other station on the network.
