History

The private Kyushu Railway had, by 1909, through acquisition and its own expansion, established a track from Kokura to Yanagigaura. The Kyushu Railway was nationalised on 1 July 1907. Japanese Government Railways (JGR), designated the track as the Hōshū Main Line on 12 October 1909 and expanded it southwards in phases. On 1 April 1914, Kōzaki was opened as the new southern terminus after the track had been extended south from Ōita. On the same day, Tsurusaki was opened as an intermediate station on the new track. On 15 December 1923, the Hōshū Main Line was renamed the Nippō Main 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.[7][8]

JR Kyushu had planned to convert Tsurusaki (with several other stations in Ōita City) into an unstaffed, remotely-managed "Smart Support Station" by 17 March 2018 but after opposition from users, this was postponed, pending works to improve accessibility.[9]

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2016, the station was used by an average of 2,006 passengers daily (boarding passengers only), and it ranked 91st among the busiest stations of JR Kyushu.[10]
