History
Mojikō Station opened on 1 April 1891 as Moji Station, the starting point of the Kyushu Railway's network and the northern terminus of what is now the Kagoshima Main Line. Ferry service to Shimonoseki began on 27 May 1901, making the station the hub for traffic between Honshu and Kyushu; from October 1911 cross-strait freight was redirected to a train ferry between Komorie and Shimonoseki, leaving Moji largely a passenger station. The current Neo-Renaissance building, designed by the engineering section of the Railway Agency's Kyushu Railway Administration Bureau, was completed in January 1914. The station was renamed Mojikō on 1 April 1942 when the new Kanmon Railway Tunnel made the nearby Dairi Station the principal gateway, and that station took over the Moji name. The building was designated an Important Cultural Property in November 1988 and reopened on 10 March 2019 after a major restoration begun in 2012.
Notes
The 1914 station building and Tokyo Station's Marunouchi side are the only two operating Japanese stations designated as Important Cultural Properties; restoration work in the 2010s uncovered scars from a 5 March 1945 US air-raid that killed three people inside the precinct.
