History
The privately run Kyushu Railway had begun laying down its network on Kyushu in 1889 and by 1890 had a stretch of track from Template:STN southwards to Template:STN. The track was extended northwards from Hakata to Template:STN by 28 September 1890, with Kashii being opened on the same day as one of the intermediate stations. On 1 January 1904, the Hakata Bay Railway opened a line between Template:STN and Template:STN, connecting to Kashii as one of the intermediate stops. The Kyushu Railway was nationalized on 1 July 1907, Japanese Government Railways (JGR) took over control of the station. On 12 October 1909, the station became part of the Hitoyoshi Main Line and then on 21 November 1909, part of the Kagoshima Main Line. In 1942, the Hakata Railway, now renamed the Hakata Railway and Steamship Company merged with other companies, becoming the Nishi Nippon Railroad (Nishitetsu). On 1 May 1944, Nishitetsu's line from Saitozaki to Sue and its later extensions to Shinbaru and Umi were also nationalized and became designated as the Kashii Line. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, JR Kyushu took over control of the station.[4][5]
