History
Hazakawa Station opened on 12 June 1910 as Yuga Station when the Uno Line was inaugurated; it took its present name on 15 November 1952. Freight handling ended in 1961 and the Uno Line was electrified the previous year. With nationalisation through the JNR era, the station was reduced to a simple commissioned stop in May 1970 and passed to JR West on 1 April 1987. ICOCA contactless ticketing reached the station on 16 March 2019 when the Chayamachi-Uno section was added to the IC card area, and simple IC gates were installed. The station has two opposed side platforms connected by a footbridge, an unstaffed format managed by neighbouring Kojima Station.

Notes
The passing loop's track is unusually long for a quiet local stop, a holdover from the Uji-Takamatsu ferry era when express passenger and freight trains for Shikoku rolled through here on a single-track main line.
