History
Sakiyama opened on 20 April 1954 as a signal station on the Japanese National Railways Tagawa Line in what is now Miyako, Fukuoka Prefecture. It was promoted to a full passenger station on 11 August 1956 and lost its parcel/baggage handling on 20 October 1971 and became unstaffed. With JNR's privatisation on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR Kyushu, and on 1 October 1989 it was transferred to the third-sector Heisei Chikuhō Railway when that operator took over the line. From 1 April 2009 the advertising firm Planning Advertising Cooperative Association held naming rights, branding the stop as Reimeiken.com Sakiyama Station; that contract has since lapsed.
Notes
From 2009 until the contract lapsed around 2022, an advertising agency held naming rights and the station carried the nickname "Reimeiken.com Sakiyama Station" — an unusually punctuated name even for a Japanese station-sponsorship deal.
