• Nishi-Kyushu Line: Suetachibana ⇄ Takaiwa (Nagasaki)

Emukae-Shikamachi Station opened on 25 January 1939 as Emukae Station, a stop on the Imari Line under Japan's Railway Ministry, in what is today Sasebo, Nagasaki Prefecture. With the completion of the Matsuura Line in 1945 it became a station on that route, and freight handling ended in 1982. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR Kyushu, and on 1 April 1988 it was transferred to the third-sector Matsuura Railway's Nishi-Kyūshū Line and renamed Emukae-Shikamachi at the same time as being de-staffed. Its single island platform serves two tracks, and tickets are now sold at the Saihi Bus Emukae Bus Center across the Emukae River.

Although the station is administratively in Shikamachi-chō Fukae, its main entrance faces across the Emukae River towards the centre of the Emukae district, and during the annual Sentōrō Festival on 23–24 August the operator sends staff to the station and runs extra trains towards Matsuura and Sasebo after the fireworks.
