History
Takata Station opened on 1 November 1960 as Chikuzen-Takata Station (筑前高田駅) on the JNR Amagi Line, as a petition station entirely funded by the locality (construction cost 500,000 yen). It was originally an unstaffed diesel-railcar-only passenger stop. On 1 April 1986 the Amagi Line was transferred to the third-sector Amagi Railway and the station was simultaneously renamed Takata Station. It is located in Takata, Chikuzen-machi, Asakura District, Fukuoka Prefecture.
