Location
History
Mizumaki Station opened on 1 October 1961 as an infill stop added to the existing Kagoshima Main Line by Japanese National Railways, in what is now Korosue-Minami, Mizumaki, Onga District, Fukuoka Prefecture. At the 1987 privatisation the station passed to JR Kyushu. A Midori-no-Madoguchi opened in March 1993, the south exit was added in 1995, and automatic ticket gates were installed in stages on the north (1 July 2000) and south (20 November 2000) exits. SUGOCA service began on 1 March 2009. The Midori-no-Madoguchi closed on 11 March 2022, and after a period as a contracted station the operation returned to JR Kyushu in-house on 1 October 2023. South-exit redevelopment with a new bus loop, parking and taxi area was completed in March 2023.
Notes
The place name Mizumaki is traced to a ridgepole record of the Ukemochi Shrine, which is enshrined together with the Yatsurugi Shrine at Tateyashiki: it states that the shrine was once called Mizumaki-gū and that Mizumaki is a place name meaning "where the water swirls".
