Saza Station

On 27 December 1931, the station opened as Sasa Station for business as the Sasebo Railway built a branch from Yotsuyubi (later renamed Yotsuibi) on the existing line connecting the city of Sasebo and Usunoura.^[1]

On 24 October 1933, a new line was opened from Sasa to Sechibaru. This opening was actually a transfer of an existing private mining railway to the railway company.^[1]

On 1 October 1936, the Sasebo Railway was nationalized. Simultaneously, the station name was changed from Sasa to Saza, without changing the kanji script.^[1]

On 1 March 1945, the railway route was changed so that Saza became a junction of the Matsuura Line and the Usunoura Line. The operation of the Usunoura Line (Saza–Usunoura) was discontinued on 26 December 1971.^[1]

On 1 April 1987, the Japanese National Railways was privatized and this station was inherited by JR Kyushu. On 1 April 1988, this station was inherited by Matsuura Railway.^[1]
