History
Kaizuka Station traces its origin to a Nōka-ura signal stop set up on 4 February 1935. It was promoted to a full Nishitetsu station as Nishitetsu Tatara on 20 April 1950, renamed Keirinjō-mae on 5 March 1954 after a newly opened velodrome, and renamed again to Kaizuka on 1 November 1962 when the Fukuoka Velodrome shut. On 12 November 1986 the Fukuoka City Subway's Hakozaki Line opened with Kaizuka as its eastern terminus, transforming the site into a Nishitetsu-subway interchange. The two operators share an at-grade island-platform layout with cross-platform interchange. Station numbering H07 for the subway came in 2011 and NK01 for Nishitetsu in 2017.

Notes
The station's subway logo is a brown conch — the kanji 貝 in Kaizuka means seashell, and the spiral represents a junction between transport modes.
