History
Tanga Station (03) is on the Kitakyushu Monorail (Kitakyushu Urban Transit Kokura Line) in Uomachi 4-chōme, Kokura-Kita-ku, Kitakyushu, Fukuoka Prefecture. The station opened on 9 January 1985 with the rest of the Kokura Line, and the mono SUGOCA IC card became accepted on 1 October 2015. Kokura-Kita-ku is one of the seven administrative wards of Kitakyushu, a city formed on 10 February 1963 by the merger of five cities and elevated to designated-city status on 1 April 1963. Kokura-Kita serves as the political, economic, and transportation hub of Kitakyushu, hosting Kokura Station, Kokura Castle, and the city hall, and the Tanga Market — known as the "kitchen of Kitakyushu" — sits within the central commercial district served by this station.
