• Nishitetsu Tenjin Omuta Line: Nishitetsu Kurume ⇄ St. Mary's Hospital

A Hanabatake halt at the location first opened on 18 July 1913 on the Mitsui Electric Tramway, which was absorbed into the Kyushu Railway in 1924. The present Hanabatake Station opened on 26 October 1933 as a new stop on the Kyushu Railway Ōmuta Line, the predecessor of today's Nishitetsu Tenjin Ōmuta Line. The operator merged with the Kyushu Electric Tramway on 19 September 1942 and adopted the Nishi-Nippon Railway corporate name three days later, on 22 September 1942, bringing the station under the brand it carries today. It sits 39.5 kilometres from the line's Nishitetsu Fukuoka (Tenjin) terminus on the Tenjin Ōmuta Line, with two elevated opposed island platforms above a staffed station building. It stands in the city of Kurume close to civic facilities, among them the Erpia Kurume complex housing the city's Consumer Affairs Center, Gender Equality Promotion Center and Lifelong Learning Center.
