A bit of history
The origins of Hakata Station date back to 1889, 600 meters north of its current position. The locomotive is still in its infancy, so it's a tram that takes care of transporting the few thousand inhabitants of the Hakata district.
Time goes by, and technology progress. In 1963 the foundations of the new Hakata station are built. A few years later, in 1975 it hosts the Sanyo Shinkansen line and then, in 1985, the subway.
In 2011, after a long renovation that lasted a decade, a community of more than 30,000 architects, engineers, workers and employees of all kinds inaugurate the JR Hakata City. At the same time, the line connecting Fukuoka to Kagoshima is opened.
The events of 2011 will inspire the film Kiseki ("miracle") directed by Kore-Eda Hirokazu (Nobody Knows, Still Walking)
