History
Tango-Kanzaki Station opened on 22 June 1957 as a petitioned-for stop on the Miyazu Line between Shinonome and Tango-Yura, in what is now the city of Maizuru, Kyoto Prefecture. Initially an unstaffed diesel-railcar passenger stop, it joined JR West at the 1 April 1987 privatisation and was transferred to Kitakinki Tango Railway on 1 April 1990. In March 2014 it received the nickname Kanzaki Beach Station, and on 1 April 2015 operation passed to Willer Trains, making it a Kyoto Tango Railway Miyamai (Miyazu) Line station today.
