• JR Kabe Line: Kodo-Homachigawa ⇄ Nakashima

Kabe Station opened on 13 July 1911 as the terminus of the Dai-Nippon Kidō Hiroshima Branch (later the Kabe Line) and was renamed Kōhin-Kabe in 1933 before reverting to Kabe Station upon nationalisation on 1 September 1936. An extension to Aki-Imuro that October made it an intermediate stop. JNR transferred the station to JR West at the 1987 privatisation. The non-electrified section to Sandankyō was closed on 1 December 2003, returning Kabe to terminus status, until a 1.6 km extension to Aki-Kameyama opened on 4 March 2017, again making it an intermediate station. ICOCA service began in 2007.

Kabe was the terminus of the Kabe Line for only 13 years between the 2003 closure of the non-electrified section to Sandankyō and the 2017 extension to Aki-Kameyama.
