History

Wajiro Station opened on 24 January 1905 as a simple stop on the Hakata Bay Railway, later the Hakata Bay Railway Steamship Company. A 1942 merger turned it into a Nishi-Nippon Railway Kasuya Line station, and on 1 May 1944 the Saitozaki–Umi section was semi-nationalised in wartime, making Wajiro a station shared by the Ministry of Transport and Communications and Nishitetsu and upgrading it from a halt to a full station. Freight handling ended on 21 December 1961 and the staff position was discontinued on 5 March 1974. JR Kyushu took over the Kashii Line side on 1 April 1987. In 1966 the once-flat JNR and Nishitetsu crossing here was rebuilt as a grade separation.

Notes

Until 1966, the Japanese National Railways line and the Nishitetsu line crossed at grade just west of Wajiro Station — only after a nine-month rebuild were the two networks separated into the configuration still in use today.
