Kamabuchi Station opened on 21 October 1904 as a station of the Ou Main Line, in Mamurogawa, Mogami District, Yamagata Prefecture. It is now operated by JR East. Mamurogawa is a town of roughly 6,000 in the north of Yamagata, bordering Akita Prefecture and serving as the prefecture's northern gateway via the Ōgachi Pass on the Ou Main Line and National Route 13. Most of the municipality is forest, and it has long been known as a forestry town; the surrounding terrain is dominated by the Dewa mountains in the west and north, and the Kamuro Range of the Ou Mountains to the northeast, with the lowland plain spreading across the south of the town where the Sake and Mamurogawa rivers meet.

In Mamurogawa, the 1904 opening of the national railway's Shinjō–Innai segment of the Ou Main Line — the same line and segment that brought Kamabuchi into service — was the moment rail first reached what is now the town's territory.
