History
Kuzaki Station opened on 3 December 1994 as one of the original intermediate stations on the Chizu Line, a 56-kilometre cross-mountain route built by the third-sector operator Chizu Express to link the San'yō Main Line at Kamigōri with the Inbi Line at Chizu. The station sits 12.2 rail kilometres from Kamigōri in what is now the town of Sayō, Hyōgo Prefecture; the address changed from Kōzuki-chō to Sayō-chō with the 2005 municipal merger. In August 2009 the elevated platforms were temporarily cut off when Typhoon Etau flooded the adjacent Chikusa River, and through running resumed on 29 August.

Notes
The station occupies an elevated platform with no station building, so passengers walk directly up to the tracks; a side track stub built for maintenance equipment was completed alongside the platforms but has never been put into service.
