• Sasaguri Line: Chojabaru

Harumachi opened on 19 June 1904 in Harumachi, Kasuya Town, when the first Kyushu Railway built the Sasaguri Line as a coal-mining branch. The line was nationalised on 1 July 1907. Daily operations were contracted to Nihon Kōtsū Kankōsha from 1 April 1963, and JR Kyushu took over with the 1987 break-up of Japanese National Railways. The station building was rebuilt in March 1997, automatic ticket gates were installed on 26 October 2000, and SUGOCA contactless ticketing started on 1 March 2009. The 13 March 2021 timetable change made Harumachi a stop for daytime rapid services, the ticket counter closed on 11 March 2022, and the station was brought back under JR Kyushu's direct operation on 1 October 2023. The station served as Kasuya's central station until neighbouring Chōjabaru opened in 1988.

Harumachi was the town of Kasuya's main station until 1988, when JR Kyushu opened nearby Chōjabaru and the local centre of gravity shifted east.
