History
The station was opened with the name of Kokubu on 10 June 1901 by Japanese Government Railways (JGR) as the northern terminus of the then Kagoshima Line which it had laid from Kagoshima. From here, the track was extended north in phases, reaching Yokogawa (now Ōsumi-Yokogawa) on 15 January 1903 and Yoshimatsu on 5 September 1903. By 1909, the track had linked up with the Hitoyoshi line reaching south from Yatsushiro. Through traffic was achieved between Mojikō in the north of Kyushu to Kagoshima in the south. The entire stretch of track from Mojikō through Yatsushiro, Kokubu to Kagoshima was redesignated as the Kagoshima Main Line on 21 November 1909.[6][7][8]
By 1927, another track from Yatsushiro through Sendai to Kagoshima had been built and this was now designated as part of the Kagoshima Main Line. The track from Yatsushiro through Kokubu to Kagoshima was thus redesignated as the Hisatsu Line on 17 October 1927.[9]
On 1 September 1929, the station was renamed Nishi-Kokubu. On 24 November 1929, a new track, the Kokuto-West Line (国都西線) was opened to another station further to the east which took on the previous name of Kokubu. On 15 September 1930, Nishi-Kokubu was renamed to Hayato. The Kokuto-West Line was expanded to the east and north, linking up with the Kokuto-East Line and other networks so that by the end of 1932, through-traffic had been established between Kokura and Kagoshima. On 6 December 1932, the entire stretch of track from Kokura through Hayato to Kagoshima was redesignated as the Nippō Main Line. At the same time, Hayato became the southern terminus of the Hisatsu Line. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Kyushu.[6][10][8]
