History
Hazama Station opened on 15 March 1927 as a station of the Kotohira Electric Railroad, on the Kotohira Line in Hazama, Mannō, Kagawa Prefecture. The operator was reorganised through corporate mergers, and on 1 November 1943 the station was inherited by Takamatsu-Kotohira Electric Railroad ("Kotoden"). It remains an unstaffed station (number K19) with two opposed side platforms, although the passing-loop has not been used regularly since 1991 because crosses are scheduled at neighbouring Okada Station instead.

Notes
At 88.9 m elevation, Hazama is the highest station on the Kotoden network; under the pre-merger municipal layout it was also the only rail station in the former town of Mannō (the JR Dosan Line passes through but has no stop).
